Approximately an hour after the game ended, he took to the field with the trophy before the ceremony.<\/p>\n<p>This was the latest success in Kroenke&#8217;s sports empire. The Denver Nuggets won the NBA Championship in 2023, a year after the LA Rams won the Super Bowl and the Colorado Avalanche won the NHL&#8217;s Stanley Cup. All three teams are part of Kroenke Sports &#038; Entertainment&#8217;s portfolio, which also now includes England&#8217;s best football team.<\/p>\n<p>Arsenal co-chairman Josh Kroenke said the family was invested in &#8220;everything, emotionally and financially&#8221;. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This club means the world to us,&#8221; he told Sky Sports. \u201cI think it took us a few years to understand what that meant, but now we have great people, great players and great coaches.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have to continue to give them the resources to go out and do magical things like they did this season.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He described the Premier League as &#8220;slower to burn than the Championship in America&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The cumulative points are tough here. You&#8217;ll start to feel it in December,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Credit to the players, staff and Mikel for always keeping their heads up. They deserve it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For Sunday&#8217;s big occasion, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta and his players wore the team&#8217;s traditional red and white kit with &#8216;Champions 2026&#8217; written on the back. Arteta was held aloft by his team in a scene of jubilation.<\/p>\n<p>The season could be even better for Arsenal, who also reached the Champions League final. <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\">First time since 2006<\/span>. Paris Saint-Germain will play in Budapest, Hungary next Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe accomplished one of our goals, but we have several others,\u201d Josh Kroenke said. &#8220;We still have games left for next weekend. Today is about enjoying today. Tomorrow we go back to work because we still have games left.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>AP Soccer: <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\">https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/soccer<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/arsenal-kroenke-premier-league-trophy-0be0d6dd4140cd4467b002eb3581e67c\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arsenal&#8217;s players finally got it, with billionaire owner Stan Kroenke watching. premier league trophy On Sunday, the biggest prize in English football was lifted off against a backdrop of ticket tape and fireworks.
