    We have FULL FAITH in OURSELVES | David Raya | Sporting CP vs Arsenal



    ©UEFA2026

    David Raya previews Arsenal’s Champions League quarter-final clash against Sporting CP. He says that Arsenal’s recent losses to Southampton and Man City are fuel for the rest of the campaign.

    -TIMESTAMPS-

    0:00 intro

    0:05 We are disappointed with recent results, have full faith in ourselves.

    0:36 Not pressure it’s an opportunity, we want to show what we are capable of

    1:05 It’s disappointing moment, we have to use that pain to pick it up for the rest of the season.

    1:46 We just have to focus on ourselves. We are in a really good position. Have to enjoy it

    2:30 I think playing against your old club gives you extra motivation. He’ll be eager to score goals.

    3:01 Haven’t spoken to Gyokeres

    3:15 Have missed odegaard, leader on and off the pitch. He was ready to go from the bench, he has so much quality.

    3:53 I think the fans play a massive role. We haven’t lost that many games.

    4:30 We have not had a meeting about the losses. Nothing out of the ordinary.

    5:06 We are in a really good position. Have to enjoy ourselves. Most important part of the reason

    5:34 We know Sporting will be tough. We expect a big battle.

    6:44 Loan spells made me the player that I am today. Playing in the Championship and League one makes me happy to be where I am now.

    7:53 I am just being myself.

    8:09 I am the last line of defence and first line of attack. I am very confident on the ball.

    9:09 Every game is an opportunity. We need to carry on and show what team we are. This team is ready for everything.

    9:49 After Southampton there’s not much you can say to Kepa. The team was not at the standards we set.

    10:24 Losing games is part of football.

      Odegaard is a leader all right … and led to two cup exits in quick succession with one of them the final …… can't believe Raya said that ……. or maybe he's been told to read from a script that fraud Arteta have written out for him… in any case it won't stop Sporting Lisbon from annihilating Arsenal and for fraudeta to be one step closer to the exit …. Arteta out !!!

    3. @TshepisoNelsonMathabathe on

      I don’t blame Raya for saying ODG is a leader, it takes a leader to spot a leader and fortunately we all know Raya himself has no leadership qualities.

      I also understand brotherhood, standing up for each other as players but shit is shit , and to anyone who claims ODG is a great leader – shit.

      Odegaard is not a leader worst captain in arsenal history when has odegaard dragged the team over the line to win the league not once im sick of the arsenal pr crap not once the media get on arteta case and ask serious questions if he is good enough to be arsenal manager

      How are you all doing? Ødegård was not in the Carabao Cup final, but participated in the match against Southampton straight from a long injury break. You cant blame him and Arteta everytime we lose a match, 5 times by the way. If you maniacs mean everything you write in your comments, I wonder what expectations you have for Arsenal. We are fighting at the top in all competitions and I don't see anyone who can replace Arteta in the short or long term.

      Odegaard has been so so poor for more than 18 months now if he wasn't our captain we would be screaming for him to be sold . He has been found out, he is useless against the low block and very predictable. Let's be real we need a massive upgrade on him .

    14. @Musemaukweli4320 on

      Other teams including relegated teams which are defeating city and other top 6 teams SHOWS faith, seriousness, determination, ruthlessness, passion, aggressiveness on the field and not useless media talks.
      Arteta and arsenal players has shocked the entire teams, managers and fans worldwide. No single team or manager does what they hv done in 2 weeks. 😂😂😂.
      Lack of basic football skills like holding the ball, control, possess, pass and surge forward with balls without loosing it and finishing with perfection outside the box and going for rebounds to score goals with aggressiveness and determination. You can't win trophies with kind of low blocks, fear, anxiety, panic, confusion we have seen with Arteta and arsenal players for 6 years now. It's same cycle each year. How do you loose to division 2 leagues teams and you say you play for arsenal? 🤣🤣🤣🤣.
      Even if they win champions league and premier league, football fans across the world can't wouldn't forgive them. Look at young serious managers like bayern Munich manager company? Look at his players, look at psg, others…. 😂😂😂😂

      Seeing Raya now almost brought tears to my eyes. Like bro we need you abeg like we say in Nigeria lol. Our enemies have been having the time of their lives without you smh

      Sadly Kepa simply is not Up To The Job (Yet) Maybe(?) in a Few Seasons, But send him out on loan next season To Either Improve or Move Down into the Championship or the Scottish Prem.

    29. @luvhenry on

      Let's stay together Arsenal as a group everyone who works for them the social media that makes money of them….but mostly the manager and the players and the fans. The players get wages and so does the manager. Ban social Media for Arsenal for three weeks …. No one needs it who are agents of this football club that's why city and Chelsea etc are fraudulent .

      David raya you are a genius we need you

      Sporting Lisbon is going to wipe the floor with Arsenal (like a dirty rag). Just look at our style of play at the moment coupled with a shaky defense and that blunt attack.
