Arsenal supporters have noticed a significant distinction between David Raya and Aaron Ramsdale in relation to an allegation about their level of concentration.

David Raya has gained immense popularity among Arsenal fans due to his exceptional performance in the penalty shootout against Porto on Tuesday night, securing the Gunners’ spot in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

The Spaniard’s two successful saves during the shootout were a pivotal event in Raya’s tenure at Arsenal. His career at the club began under uncertain conditions, as the fans at the Emirates Stadium were still devoted to the former goalkeeper, Aaron Ramsdale. The move made by manager Mikel Arteta to acquire Raya from Brentford on a temporary basis and substitute Ramsdale ignited extensive discussion.

The call was met with scorn by fans and analysts following Raya’s significant mistakes in away games against Chelsea and Luton. However, since the start of the new year, the Spain international has successfully established himself as a more composed goalkeeper for Arsenal.

The Gunners have conceded only four goals in the league this year, with one of them being a result of a mistake by Ramsdale against Brentford on Saturday. Raya has gradually improved his performance in his Arsenal career, but his two penalty saves against Porto mark the first occasion that he has received significant acclaim from his own supporters.
