Following their Champions League final defeat to PSG on penalties, Arsenal celebrated their Premier League triumph with a north London bus parade. Amid the festivities, Declan Rice and Noni Madueke fired back at critics who mocked their European exit. Rice posted "Jealousy everywhere" with laughing emojis as the Gunners showcased their Premier League trophy.

The criticism didn't go unanswered. Tottenham's Djed Spence posted open eyes and an open lock emoji after Arsenal's loss, referencing a February social media post. Chelsea also seized the opportunity to remind rivals they remain London's only Champions League winners with a promotional post about "London's Home of Trophies" at Stamford Bridge.

Arsenal's captain remained defiant during the celebration parade. "I love this team, I love the manager," Rice stated. "To see the joy we can give people, it's crazy." The midfielder confirmed their ambition: "next year we're coming back for more. You heard it here first now. Lock in or get locked out."
