In a recent UEFA Champions League quarter-final first leg match in Lisbon, Arsenal secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Sport Lisboa e Benfica, with Kai Havertz scoring the decisive goal in the 91st minute, assisted by Gabriel Martinelli. Following the match, Havertz lauded teammate David Raya, calling him the best goalkeeper in the world.

Raya made five critical saves during the match, including an outstanding stop against Maxi Araujo and a brilliant near-post save from Geni Catamo, which preserved Arsenal's clean sheet.
