David Raya played a crucial role in Arsenal’s 0-0 draw against Atalanta in the Champions League on Thursday. The Spanish goalkeeper showcased his skills with two remarkable saves that kept the match level in Italy.
The pivotal moment came in the 51st minute when Thomas Partey conceded a penalty. Raya responded with a stunning double save, first stopping Mateo Retegui’s penalty kick. He then made an impressive diving save, managing to push the ball to safety and deny Atalanta any goals.
This match marked Arsenal’s first outing following the news that captain Martin Odegaard will be out for an extended period due to a significant ankle injury.
Next, Arsenal will face Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.
