“Having such amazingly talented player should be declared illegal because he’s more dangerous than Haaland and Mbappe combined… Arsenal are just too lucky to have him”: Jamie Carragher says Arsenal has ONE particular player who’s better than Haaland and Mbappe combined
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 Serie A side was awarded 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 Strand Larsen header.
Interestingly, there was one Arsenal player who stunned Jamie Carragher and the CBS Sports studio last night…

Riccardo Calafiori returned for Arsenal after picking up an injury on international duty.
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 Paramount Plus, 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.”
