only just or just only
Hey guys, I have a doubt, wich is the correct form? For example, I've only just arrived home or I've just only arrived home.
Thanks for your comments

I've only just arrived home.
In these exampes:
only means 'a singular thing'
just means 'recently and only'
So, only is redundant and actually adds nothing to the sentence.
Do you know the song by the Carpenters: "We've Only Just Begun"

The first one is correct!
Never use the second option! It is grammatically wrong.
