Wojciech Szczesny may be a Barcelona goalkeeper now, but his heart still beats red and white. The former Arsenal shot-stopper has revealed he plans to attend the Champions League final—and he's already counting down the days to support his old club.

While his Barcelona teammates were locked in focus ahead of Sunday's high-stakes El Clásico, Szczesny admitted his mind was elsewhere. "Before the game everyone was preparing for El Clásico, and I'm just trying to find out if Raya was fouled," he told Eleven Sports PL, referring to a controversial VAR decision that denied West Ham an equalizer against Arsenal.

The Polish international, ever the goalkeeper's advocate, didn't hesitate when asked if David Raya was genuinely fouled. "He was. You're asking a goalkeeper, so… Yeah, that's a foul. They were holding onto his arm and he couldn't jump properly."

When conversation turned to Arsenal's Champions League final prospects, Szczesny's response was equal parts passion and superstition. "Don't ask me about that! Don't ask me yet. It's tough. Right now I'm trying to enjoy my own win, and that other thing… those two trophies left, it's stressing me out quite a bit."

According to Eleven Sports reporter Radoslaw Przybysz, Szczesny intends to be in Budapest for the final, ready to cheer on his former teammates. For now, though, he'll savor Barcelona's 2-0 victory over Real Madrid—a win that sealed La Liga glory for the Catalan giants.

From El Clásico to the Champions League final, it seems Szczesny's allegiances are as divided as ever—but his loyalty to Arsenal remains unmistakable.
