David Raya Press conference ahead of Arsenalās Champions League campaign, reflecting on his journey, competition for Arsenal first Goalkeeper, and whatās next after Kepaās arrival.
In this press conference, Raya shared pride in hitting the milestone of 100 appearances and 42 clean sheets but deflected personal praise, instead crediting Arsenalās team effort and staff support.
With Kepa now joining the squad, Raya addressed the increased competition in goal with calm confidence, describing it as āhealthyā and grounded in mutual respect. Their long-standing bond from Spain duty, he said, makes the dynamic constructive, not tense.
He also praised the clubās summer signings, saying the added depth means Arsenal can finish games stronger and keep intensity high over the season.
Reflecting on last seasonās heartbreak in the semi-final against PSG, David Raya said it only sharpened their motivation to go further. He expects noisy European nights this season but says lineup decisions are in Mikel Artetaās hands.
