'We are Arsenal and we play to win' - Raya

David Raya has expressed strong belief that Arsenal can win the Champions League this season, despite last year's painful semi-final defeat to eventual winners Paris St-Germain. The Spanish goalkeeper, who recently turned 30, emphasized the team's winning mentality ahead of their opening match against Athletic Bilbao.

Raya highlighted the lessons learned from last season's loss, stating that the defeat was a painful experience that has helped the team mature. He stressed the importance of focusing on the present in what will be a long and challenging season across both the Premier League and Champions League.

The goalkeeper also discussed the recent signing of compatriot Kepa Arrizabalaga from Chelsea, noting that competition within the squad brings out the best in players. Raya confirmed they maintain a good relationship and he enjoys sharing the dressing room with him.
