In the afternoon 31/5, Arsenal's caravan left the Emirates Field at 1415 p.m. London, beginning its journey of approximately 9 km across familiar streets in North London.
Captain Martin Odegard was the first person to step onto the bus, raising the British Foreign Championship Cup in 2025-2026 season. It was announced from the Tribune Police that this was the largest parade ever held in the United Kingdom, with an estimated attendance of over 1.5 million, far beyond the previously recorded events as Liverpool's 2025 (750,000) and Man Utd in 1999 (50,000).
Since early morning, hundreds of thousands of fans have flocked to the streets of North London to await the convoy. Many people carry flags, flares, and banners, creating the festival atmosphere that extends throughout the journey.
A cafe owner on Holloway Road shared an incredible feeling as he witnessed the parade passing through his store. He said he used to live in the state of championship air in 2004, but this time it was "more crazy".
The air on the bus was equally exciting. Despite the negatives still failing at Champions League Finals, many players appear with an optimistic spirit. Gabriel Magalhaes and Eberechi Eze - two broken rock players in circulation - still along with smiling teammates, blending into the celebration air along with teammates and fans.
The quarterback Declan Rice constantly stirs the crowd, while the rear guard Riccardo Calafori leads a resounding song "Arsenal, Arsenal". The co-president Josh Kroenke also appeared, in tune with his fans and urged him to create additional cheer sounds.
In his speech to the fans, Coach Mikel Artata said, "This is great. You made this moment. Enjoy it together. We've come a long way, and this is the reward for all."
Captain Odegard acknowledged the incredible emotion of seeing over a million fans covered both sides of the road, as well as his teammates singing and waving in the fiery smoke of fire covered North London.
At the Champions League Finals at Puskas Arena Night 30/5, Arsenal blended PSG 1-1 over 120 minutes and lost 3-4 in the circulation series. This results in the long-term "subscription" of the obsession at the European arena as a team with the largest number of games in the history of the C1/Champions League (262 games) which has never been championed.
The Rice quarterback claimed Arsenal would return stronger: "There is no reason to stop here. Next season, we'll be stronger and ready to compete in the title again. This is a very promising time for the club".
The English player also emphasizes the importance of Coach Artata on the team's development journey, at the same time claiming that the British Championship was a worthy prize for fans after years of waiting.
Myles Lewis-Skelly, the 19-year-old player who was not born when Arsenal won the nearest 2004 championship, admitted not to regret his defeat at the Champions League Finals, but emphasized the entire team having a memorable season. He said that the collective experiences were the basis for a new era of the club.
"We are disappointed to be so close to the title Champions League, but that only makes us stronger. This is the beginning of a new journey," said Lewis-Sklyly.
One of the most excitedly promoted moments in the parade was when Odegard - the first captain of Arsenal since Patrick Vieira in 2004 brought the team up to the British Foreign Championship - raising the Cup right in front of the convoy, receiving a mad shout from the fans.
