Arsenal chief Raul Sanllehi says there was no chance of manager Unai Emery taking the Europa League lightly this season.

Arsenal will meet Chelsea in the final next week in Baku.

Sanllehi told arsenal.com: "He's won it three times already, he's never lost a final, and we're hoping that that streak continues. From day one, when we were talking with him, he was already talking about this season when we were talking about the objective to qualify for the Champions League, and he would always mention the Europa League in our objectives.

"He was very clear - he wanted this title. We've got to the final and we're extremely excited. There's not so many finals you get over time, so we're really excited and hoping that we can deliver that to our fans. We extremely believe in the capabilities of the team, and definitely in the capabilities of our head coach to lift that trophy."
