Arsenal’s European double dream is gathering pace as belief inside the dressing room continues to grow.

The Gunners have pushed hard across all competitions this season. Now, as the campaign reaches its defining weeks, confidence is building at the right time.

Reported by John Cross, an Arsenal defender has now lifted the lid on that internal mood. He described the atmosphere as “very exciting”, offering a clear insight into the squad’s mindset.

Piero Hincapié reveals Arsenal dressing room belief

Hincapié did not hold back when discussing the mood inside the squad. He made it clear that belief has increased as the season has progressed.

He said:

“It would bring immense happiness. It would be crazy for me too. But the truth is that it is a very nice moment that the club is going through.”

The defender also pointed to Arsenal’s position in multiple competitions. He stressed how close the team is to achieving something special.

Importantly, he highlighted the collective mindset. The squad believes it can compete. It also believes it can win.

That confidence has shown on the pitch. Arsenal have delivered in key moments during big matches, which has pushed them into this strong position.

Arsenal’s mentality shift under Mikel Arteta

Hincapié also praised the togetherness inside the squad. He made it clear that unity has played a major role this season.

He said:

“There was something very exciting in the dressing room and also a lot of desire to want to win everything.”

That hunger reflects Mikel Arteta’s influence. The manager has built a culture that demands high standards. Players now respond to that expectation every week.

Why Arsenal’s European double dream now feels real

Arsenal now enter a crucial stage of the campaign. Every game carries weight. Every moment matters.

Therefore, mentality becomes everything. Talent alone will not be enough. The squad must stay focused and composed.

Hincapié believes they can do exactly that. He pointed to the team’s consistency and work ethic throughout the season.

He said:

“We have worked hard all season and we hope to be happy at the end.”

At the same time, squad depth remains important. That becomes even more relevant given that a key Arsenal loanee could leave the club this summer, which may affect options moving forward.

Ultimately, Arsenal have given themselves a real chance. Now they must finish the job.

matchday.
