Despite losing the Champions League final to Paris Saint-Germain on Saturday, Declan Rice and his Arsenal teammates celebrated their Premier League-winning campaign at their trophy parade on Sunday.
Rice is proud of Arsenal’s season as Mikel Arteta and Co fulfilled their objective of winning one out of the two biggest trophies any English club can lift by becoming the champions of England.
Reaching the Champions League final for the first time since 2006 shows how much this Gunners side have progressed under Arteta’s guidance.
Thierry Henry encouraged supporters to enjoy the parade and the likes of Noni Madueke and Rice had messages for the club’s detractors.
Declan Rice says there is ‘jealousy everywhere’ about Arsenal
Madueke took to Instagram to post a picture of himself alongside Rice, captioning his post: “Champions! Whilst others are tweeting and posting”, followed by a ‘laughing emoji.’
The winger added: “Thank you God. The glory is yours!”
Rice commented: “Jealousy everywhere”, followed by four laughing emojis.
Declan Rice makes promise to Arsenal fans at trophy parade
It seems like Madueke’s claim in particular may have been a dig at Djed Spence, who took to X to reply to Arsenal’s post about him being “locked up” as they beat Tottenham Hotspur 4-1 in February.

Spence retweeted the post with two emojis, implying he was no longer “locked up” while poking fun at the club for losing the Champions League final to PSG.
Considering the Spurs full-back and Madueke have been named in England’s 2026 World Cup, the latter’s comments could cause a rift behind the scenes between the pair.
As far as the trophy parade is concerned, Arsenal fans lauded Rice as he claimed that the club are “coming for more” next season and said, “Lock in or get locked out.”
It seems like the Arsenal cohort have no plans to rest on their laurels in the 2026/2027 campaign and have their sights set on lifting silverware for years to come.
