EPL: Declan Rice Warns Arsenal’s Opponents Ahead of Next Season

England international Declan Rice has bounced back from Arsenal’s Champions League final defeat to PSG, vowing to “return for more” trophies during the club’s trophy parade.

The team quickly recovered after the heartbreaking loss in Budapest, where Luis Enrique’s PSG won on penalties to retain their European title.

Just a week and a half earlier, Arteta’s side had clinched the Premier League title. In the Champions League final, Kai Havertz opened the scoring within the first six minutes, sparking joy among Arsenal supporters.

However, Ousmane Dembélé equalised from the penalty spot in the 65th minute, and both Eberechi Eze and Gabriel Magalhães missed their penalties in a tense shootout at the Puskás Arena.

Hours after the defeat, Arsenal players flew at 2 a.m. from Hungary to join fans for the club’s Premier League title celebrations in north London later that afternoon.

The atmosphere was electric as Martin Ødegaard and teammates proudly displayed the trophy on an open‑top bus, with hundreds of thousands gathering in the streets of Islington, Highbury and Canonbury to celebrate this historic moment.

Arsenal midfielder Rice, a key player throughout the season, smiled broadly as he reflected on the campaign during an interview with his teammates.

“I love this team, I love this manager,” the England international said. “To witness the happiness we can bring to people is incredible. Next year we’re coming back for more. Lock in or get locked out.”
