Raya stated, "Winning the league after that many years... gives you that extra confidence." He expressed optimism about maintaining their form, noting, "We know we can beat anybody in this league."

The match also tested Arsenal's resolve as they conceded early to Morgan Rogers but responded with relentless attacking waves. Raya acknowledged the need for improvement in their defense but praised the team's reaction and overall dominance throughout the game.

The atmosphere in the stands reflected their confidence, with fans providing unwavering support, contributing to a strong home advantage. Raya concluded, "It was a really important win," reiterating the significance of their performance against a formidable Chelsea side.
