As soon as the final whistle blew, praise and adulation poured in from around the world. Most of it aimed towards Chelsea’s intrepid manager, Antonio Conte, who has been nothing short of brilliant since his first day on the job.
Chelsea deservedly Premier League Champions. Antonio Conte infused team with his passion, organization, determination and sheer Will to Win

Of course, we couldn’t have a title celebration without a little bit of banter. You’re up, Arsenal:
N'Golo Kante. Two years, twice a champion. Arsenal players will be envious. They've been waiting over a decade *runs away*
