David Raya can confidently beat his chest and say he is, undoubtedly, Mikel Arteta and Arsenal’s number one goalkeeper following his heroics on Tuesday night at the Emirates Stadium.
Belgium international Leandro Trossard drew the Gunners level on aggregate moments before halftime in the return leg of the round of 16 stage of the UEFA Champions League.
And when mostly needed, Raya delivered when Porto forced a penalty shootout after regulation and extra time in a match filled with so much drama.
The Spanish goalkeeper pulled off two wonderful saves from Wendell and Galeno as Arsenal reached the quarterfinals of the 2023–24 UEFA Champions League.
In the other match of the night, Barcelona’s kids proved their mental toughness by overcoming Italian champions Napoli 4-2 on aggregate to progress to the next stage.
