Raya made a crucial save to deny Olympiacos' Daniel Podence in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday, which helped Arsenal secure a 2-0 victory. This was a major relief for the team, who dominated the game from start to finish.
Carragher believes Raya is an excellent goalkeeper, calling him one of the best in the world. He thinks Raya and Alisson are among the top goalkeepers in the Premier League, and that's why Arsenal have been able to keep so many clean sheets.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta commented on the game, highlighting Raya's impressive save and the team's overall performance. Arteta praised the players for their hard work and dedication, especially considering they played just three days earlier.
Interestingly, Carragher had previously questioned Raya's ability when he joined Arsenal in 2023, saying he was shaky and inconsistent. However, he now believes Raya is a great addition to the team and has improved their goalkeeping situation.
Carragher also acknowledged that Declan Rice's arrival has had a positive impact on the team, but notes that Raya's performance has not significantly improved the goalkeeper position.
