Caldentey embraces 'cool' pressure as Arsenal target Treble
Midfielder Mariona Caldentey explains why Arsenal, strengthened by seven new players, are talking up their chances of winning the Treble this season.
Caldentey is excited to help Arsenal achieve a treble in the upcoming 2026-27 season, after the Women's Super League title, two domestic cups, and another Champions League were secured. With the Gunners aiming to win their first Women's Super League title since 2019, midfielder Caldentey, 30, is determined to make it happen with the team.
The last time she donned an Arsenal shirt was in May, joining in the men's and women's victory parade around north London after the men's team clinched the Premier League title for the first time in 22 years. Despite finishing second in the WSL and losing the Champions League semi-final to Lyon, Caldentey and her teammates are ready to take on the challenge.
They acknowledge the pressure that comes with being part of a big club and are ready to embrace it. Their manager, Renee Slegers, is optimistic about the team's prospects and expects them to win the Women's Super League and the Treble. Slegers has strengthened her squad with seven new players, including full-back Ona Batlle and England dynamo Georgia Stanway, in a bid to overcome the inconsistency that led to their defeat last season.
