A quick fan-style angle
On forums and fan chats, you’ll often see people split on whether to “count” the Community Shield as a real trophy.
- Fans who only care about major trophies will usually say:
Arsenal last won a trophy in 2020, the FA Cup against Chelsea.
- Fans who include all silverware will say:
Arsenal last won a trophy in 2023, the Community Shield vs Man City.
Either way, it’s been a few seasons without adding another big title, which is why every current league or cup run feels so intense for supporters.
TL;DR:
- Last trophy of any kind : 2023 Community Shield vs Manchester City (won on penalties).
- Last major trophy: 2020 FA Cup vs Chelsea (2–1).
