Calafiori sends three-word message as Arsenal reach Champions League Final
Italy international Riccardo Calafiori has reached the Champions League Final with Arsenal: ‘What a dream,’ wrote the ex-Bologna and Roma defender on social media.
Italian defender Calafiori has reached the Champions League Final with Arsenal, who beat Atletico Madrid 1-0 in the second-leg semifinal on Tuesday.
Calafiori started the game and was replaced after 58 minutes by Piero Hincapié.
Calafiori reacted to Arsenal’s achievement on Instagram, sharing a picture from last night with a simple caption: “What a dream.”
Calafiori has scored one goal and provided three assists in 33 appearances across all competitions this season.
The Italian defender then told Sky Sport: “It’s something huge. I think 20 years ago was the last time. We deserved it. We play for everything now. League [title] and the Champions League. We have full energy.”
Arsenal are also the Premier League table leaders, and winning the last four games of the season would allow them to secure a historic double.
“I’ve been thinking about it since the beginning of the season, to be honest,” admitted Calafiori.
“It’s like a dream now, and I hope it becomes true.”
