The versatile defender recalled the exact moment Mikel Arteta’s squad realised they had finally crossed the finish line as champions. Speaking to <\/span>the Republic<\/em><\/i><\/a>Calafiori said: “Winning the Premier League was one of my childhood dreams. And it was incredible, considering how the season went.<\/span><\/p>\n

“The best moment was the final whistle of the Bournemouth-Manchester City match. We all exploded: the staff, the players. We were all together, wishing each other well. We felt lighter. The title had been missing for 22 years. Wandering around the city, I realised how important it was for the fans and the people.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Reflecting on his rapid integration into English football under Arteta’s guidance, Calafiori added: “At the start of the season, speaking with Arteta, I realised how much he believed in me. It wasn’t a given, I didn’t even expect it. I came here to get out of my comfort zone. Adapting wasn’t easy; it’s a complicated league. But I would recommend it to many young Italians.”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
