Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya speaks ahead of the Gunners’ Champions League clash with Athletic Club.
TIMESTAMPS
0:00 INTR0
0:05 Happy Birthday – what an amazing forst 100 matches for Arsenal? Yeah, of course, I think it was, maybe two years I made my debut, and from there its been incredible. And having that record, with 42 clean sheets but that goes to the credit to the team to the staff.
0:50 ambitions? We want to go higher this season, that’s what we want to do
1:33 Replacing Ramsdale – I came here to go a step further in my career. I think it was the right decision. When i came here aaron was the goalkeeper and was playing. I just try to do my best on the pitch and opff the pitch and give a reason to the boss to pick me.
2:44 Spanish playters and Bilbao factor? We have been discussing the people that have never been here, never heard the place. We’re looking forward to the challenge.
3:55 squad and Kepa etc? It’s really important to have that depth. There are a lot of talking about the players that come from the bench. Leo, comes from the bench and has an assist.
4:18 PSG memories? That it hurts, a lot losing in the semi-final. You get more mature. t is incredible to be here.
5:33 Win it all? We are, we have belief, we want to win, we are Arsenal and we play to win, that’s not a doubt. That’s what we play football for. It’s a long journey in the Champions League and the Premier League.
6:48 pressure to win? Obviously when I came to Arsenal there was a lot of noise, a lot of talk outside. Having Aaron, he’s an incredible keeper and out of nowhere he gets changed. There was a few games I could have done better, everyone has bad games, the noise was getting [louder]. I have to focus on the things on the control, I have to be deaf, basically. Just believe in myself.
7:50 Donnarumma? Well if you’ve seen the game yesterday thats your answer. He played the first game yesterday and its like he’s been here for many years, that tells you what type of keeper he is.
8:42 Playing at San Mames? It was one of the Spanish stadiums that I have always enjoyed playing in. What I talk about with my teammates or with Unai, or with Nico or with Merino, the people who have played in Spain know it is an incredible stadium.
9:45 Sociedad factor? We know its going to be a very good atmosphere, we know that the fans are incredible and theres going to be a lot of pressure from the beginning, or even the warm-up. I am very much looking forward to playing tomorrow.
11:01 Playing v Unai Simon? Well, we played against each other in the pre-season. We haven’t talked too much about it but as a goalkeeper, there is no need to say what I think about him, he is an amazing goalkeeper, he is a guarantee here and in the national team.

David Raya on Martin Zubimendi: “He’s incredible. I’ve shared the dressing room with the national team and now he’s here he’s even surprised me even more.
“He’s a player that’s so intelligent – He knows how to play for the team, he doesn’t play for himself. His positioning in defence and attack is incredible. It’s a credit to have him.”
As an Arsenal fan l hope and believe that this season we are going to win UCL ❤🙏

On Gigi Donaruma
Raya: “Looking forward to play against him”
Arsenal attackers: 😏

These questions sound like the media wants to divide and stir up controversy.

100 appearances 42 clean sheets amazing.. ❤
🤍✊🏼❤️
Bloody camera shaking like a shitting dog
Very well spoken, intelligent guy. With the stats to back it up!
Arsenal is a mix of the England national team and Spanish national team. A few others sprinkled in but mostly English and Spanish. Not that it really matters just something I noticed.
The UCL marathon begins. Let's take it one half at a time and one game at a time.
COYG !!!
David Raya is the reason I can’t doubt Arteta anymore. I loved Ramsdale before Raya came in and I was always so critical about Raya because he was never as good of a shot stopper and it didn’t make sense to me. Now Raya is truly one of the best keepers in all of Europe. For the same reason, I am happy to say I never doubted Noni, and I’m so happy he’s performing the way he is. COYG ❤️🤍❤️
Decent audio on the journalist questions TF 👌🏻
Raya & Zubamendi= 2 world class ballers! 😍💫😁
