Jamie Carragher admits one Arsenal player stunned him and Thierry Henry vs Atalanta

Arsenal failed to come away with all three points in their opening Champions League match, as Atalanta held them in Italy.

Mikel Arteta won’t be too displeased with the result, but his side definitely weren’t at the races, with Martin Odegaard’s absence felt in the final third.

Atalanta actually had more shots and more possession than Arsenal over the 90 minutes.

The only thing that separated the two sides was the incredible double save from David Raya after the S💦erie A side was aw𒊎arded a penalty in the second-half.

This isn’t the first time�� Raya has made a decisive save this season, as he made a stunning save on the opening day against Wolves from a Jorgen Straꦛnd Larsen header.

Interestingly, there was one Arsenal p🧸layer who stunned Jamie Carragher and the CBS Sports studio last night…

However, the Gunners still have five players currently out injured, as Oleksandr Zinchenko, Mikel Merino, Takehiro Tomiyasu, Martin Odegaard and Kieran Tierney all missed training.

There was one ✨man in🌃 particular was head and shoulders above the rest.

During their UCL Today live broadcast for CBS on , Jamie Carragher revealed that David Raya stunned♎ him and his fellow pundits with his double save.

When speaking to Raya himself, Carragher stated.

“David, we (Thierry Henry, Micah Richards and Kate Abdo) can’t believe how good that save is; that’s one of the best saves I’ve seen 🍌for years.”

David Raya’s performance in numbers vs Atalanta

David Raya’s stats actually weren’t as good as you may 💛think, with his double save pretty much being the only thing he did alꦺl game.

He made two saves in total, had 46 touches of the balꦡl, two high claims, and a p♋assing accuracy of 60% due to him misplacing 16 of his passes.

Bu✨t, no one will care about the stats as he single-handedly secured a respectable points for his side against an Atalanta side that made it all the way to the Europa League final last season.

His attention willꦚ now turn to Manchester City at the weekend, with another huge performance required from the Spaniard if he is to keep out Erling Haaland.
