Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya expressed his excitement after making a remarkable penalty save in their recent UEFA Champions League match against Atalanta.
Reflecting on the moment, Raya said, "This save was just incredible. Maybe not the best one of my career but for sure in the top three."
The match, held in Bergamo, ended in a 0-0 draw, largely due to Raya's heroics. Early in the second half, Arsenal's Thomas Partey conceded a penalty, giving Atalanta a prime opportunity to take the lead.
Mateo Retegui stepped up to take the penalty, but Raya was up to the task. He dived to his right to block Retegui's initial shot and then quickly recovered to save the follow-up header, showcasing his exceptional reflexes and agility.
This performance has earned Raya widespread acclaim, with many praising his crucial role in securing a point for Arsenal in their Champions League opener.
Looking ahead, Arsenal's next match is a highly anticipated Premier League clash against Manchester City. The game is scheduled for Sunday, September 22, 2024, at the Etihad Stadium. This fixture promises to be a significant test for Mikel Arteta's side as they aim to build on their solid start to the season.
