Arsenal defender Piero Hincapié has shared his excitement and determination about the club’s ambitions this season, following a standout performance in their European clash against Slavia Praha.
The Ecuadorian international was immense at the back, delivering a defensive masterclass that highlighted his growing influence in Mikel Arteta’s side. Hincapié made history as the only Arsenal player in the last 10 seasons to contest 8+ duels in a European match and win 100% of them (8/8), a remarkable feat that underlined his composure, timing, and physical dominance.
Speaking after the game, Hincapié reflected on the team’s spirit and collective hunger to achieve greatness this season.
“We have a great team, we dream about winning everything and we’re working for it. We try to do our best in training so we can show it in the best way possible in matches.”
It’s a statement that perfectly captures the atmosphere inside the Arsenal camp, a blend of belief, discipline, and ambition. Arteta’s men have impressed both domestically and in Europe, and players like Hincapié are helping to set the tone with their consistency and competitiveness.
“Obviously we have great players, we have great competition within the club, which is the most important thing, having competition, healthy competition that can improve your level so the team can put on a show for the fans, obviously.”
That healthy rivalry Hincapié mentions seems to be paying off. Arsenal’s defensive line has become one of the most formidable in Europe, and the team’s unity and drive are visible in every match.
With players like Hincapié stepping up and leading by example, Arsenal’s dream of “winning everything” might not be so far-fetched after all.
