A Champion's Story | Mikel Merino's road to recovery | An Arsenal Original

Witness the end of our incredible 2025/26 title-winning season through the eyes of our Spanish midfielder.

Our cameras followed Mikel as he fought to regain fitness after sustaining a significant foot injury against Manchester United. As he recovers, his teammates gear up for a historic run-in - with our No. 23 supporting them every step of the way - culminating in his return to the field in our final game of the season against Crystal Palace on a glorious day which saw him get his hands on the Premier League trophy.

This is just the latest original Arsenal production which can be found first on our new club app, including Bukayo Saka's celebrity-based series The Link Up, a detailed look at Martin Odegaard's style of captaincy in Modern Leader and Declan Rice meeting elite sportspeople such as Thierry Henry and Lando Norris in Raising the Bar.

There is also a full behind-the-scenes look back at our 2024/25 Women's Champions League campaign in Only In The Land, a documentary on one of our 1970s icons, Charlie George: King of Highbury, and our unique Gunners-themed dating show, The Big Match.
