The Emirates Stadium witnessed a historic celebration as Arsenal players and fans celebrated the Premier League title at 5 in the morning, ending a 22-year drought. Eberechi Eze shared photos alongside Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka, and Jurrien Timber outside the stadium. In a video, Saka and Timber displayed a trophy that lit up upon winning, while Saka declared: 22 years, they're not laughing anymore.
The trophy that shines with victory: LED technology in the Premier 🏆
The trophy's engineering incorporates an LED lighting system activated by motion sensors when lifted. This mechanism, developed in collaboration with an industrial design firm, uses rechargeable batteries and a low-power circuit. The light changes color depending on the tilt angle, offering a dynamic visual effect. Although it doesn't add points, it certainly adds extra sparkle to the celebration, proving that even football symbols are updated with functional and aesthetic technology.
Saka and Timber show off the trophy: he who laughs last, laughs illuminated 💡
While Saka repeated that they're not laughing anymore, Timber held the trophy as if it were a PlayStation controller. The scene, with the trophy blinking at 5 in the morning, looked more like an appliance ad than a sports celebration. But hey, if you've waited 22 years, you have the right to show off your new table lamp. The important thing is that now they laugh, and with their own light.
