ShareArsenal are hoping to become European champions for the very first time this week, having already won the Premier League title this season.David Raya believes finally getting over the line in the Premier League title race has given Arsenal a major confidence boost ahead of the Champions League final.Arsenal – who ended their 22-year wait for a 14th English top-flight crown last week – will face PSG in the biggest game in European club football on Saturday, in Budapest.The Gunners could become the 25th different club to win the Champions League or European Cup, and the fourth to do so in the same season as becoming champions of England.Liverpool previously accomplished that feat in both 1976-77 and 1983-84, Manchester United did so in 1998-99 and 2007-08, and Manchester City followed them in 2022-23.And, having edged out Man City on the domestic front after three straight campaigns as runners-up, Raya feels Mikel Arteta's team have a new level of self-belief. "It was essential; it's been the goal ever since I arrived here, and even before that," Raya told Diario AS of the Gunners' Premier League triumph."This club exists to compete and challenge for the top honours, and the Premier League was one of them."We've achieved it, and now it's going to give us a huge boost as we head into the Champions League final."Arsenal's run to the Champions League final has been built on a rock-solid defensive record, with Raya keeping nine clean sheets in the competition this season – no goalkeeper has ever kept 10 in a single edition."Personally, I think I'm in a really, really good phase. It's not just down to me personally; I think the clean sheets we've managed are down to the whole team," Raya added. "I'm absolutely delighted and confident in the work we've done as a team. There have been many matches in which we've conceded hardly any chances, and that's helped us win the championship, which was the main thing."Raya was one of three goalkeepers named in Luis De la Fuente's Spain squad for the World Cup on Monday, but against PSG, he will face the manager that handed him his senior international debut in March 2022 – Luis Enrique. "I know him well. He gave me my debut with the national team, and I hold him in very high regard. We know he's a brilliant, brilliant, brilliant manager and a great person," Raya added. "He's always tweaking things to make life difficult for our opponents, but we hope to win that battle and come out on top in the Champions League final."We know we're strong from set-pieces, and hopefully we can score a goal from a set-piece in the final!"Arsenal are hoping to become European champions for the very first time this week, having already won the Premier League title this season.David Raya believes finally getting over the line in the Premier League title race has given Arsenal a major confidence boost ahead of the Champions League final.Arsenal – who ended their 22-year wait for a 14th English top-flight crown last week – will face PSG in the biggest game in European club football on Saturday, in Budapest.The Gunners could become the 25th different club to win the Champions League or European Cup, and the fourth to do so in the same season as becoming champions of England.Liverpool previously accomplished that feat in both 1976-77 and 1983-84, Manchester United did so in 1998-99 and 2007-08, and Manchester City followed them in 2022-23.And, having edged out Man City on the domestic front after three straight campaigns as runners-up, Raya feels Mikel Arteta's team have a new level of self-belief.
