Paris Saint-Germain head coach Luis Enrique has backed Arsenal to fully deserve their first Premier League title in 22 years, while also declaring the Gunners the best team in the world without the ball — a warning shot ahead of their Champions League final meeting in Budapest on May 30.

Title confirmed after City draw

Arsenal's long wait for the Premier League crown ended on Tuesday night when Manchester City were held to a 1-1 draw at Bournemouth, confirming the trophy would return to north London. Celebrations erupted at the Emirates Stadium in the early hours, with Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka, Eberechi Eze, and Jurriën Timber among the players pictured at the ground as thousands of supporters packed the surrounding streets.

Mikel Arteta's side will close out the league season on Sunday against Crystal Palace, where they are set to receive the Premier League trophy, before attention turns fully to Europe.

Enrique full of respect for Arsenal

Speaking at a pre-match news conference, Luis Enrique was generous in his assessment of Arsenal's campaign, acknowledging that PSG faced them in last season's semi-final and are under no illusions about the challenge ahead.
