If the Gunners win then they are champions, anything less and City would usurp them at the last.\n\n## When did Arsenal last win the Premier League?\n\nThierry Henry and Ray Parlour won Arsenal’s last Premier League trophy (Picture: Getty Images)\n\nIt has been a long wait for Premier League glory for Arsenal, last lifting the trophy 22 years ago in 2004.\n\nThat was the Invincibles season which saw Arsene Wenger’s side go the whole league season unbeaten, remaining the only team to do so in the Premier League.\n\nThe Gunners’ other Premier League triumphs came in 1998 and 2002, both also under Wenger.\n\n## When is the Champions League final?\n\nArsenal beat Atletico Madrid to reach the Champions League final (Picture: Getty Images)\n\nWhatever happens at the climax of the Premier League, Arsenal have the chance to make history in the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain.\n\nThe Gunners have never won Europe’s top prize, but will have the chance to do so in Budapest on Saturday May 30.\n\nWill it be Arteta and his men bidding for an incredible double or looking to rescue their season?\n\nComment now Comments \nAdd Metro as a Preferred Source on Google\nAdd as preferred source\n",
