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.
