David Raya, an Arsenal player, performed admirably in his first start for Spain against Albania at EURO 2024.

Early on June 25, the Spanish squad began play in the final group stage match of EURO 2024. Their opponent, Albania, had little chance of advancing to the round of 16.

PictureOnce the Spanish team qualified for the next round, they made 10 personnel changes. Stars like Unai Simon, Nico Williams, and Lamine Yamal rested for this match.

In their stead came David Raya, Dani Olmo, and Ferran Torres. When they performed brilliantly against Albania, none of them let the coaching staff down.

PictureDavid Raya left a lasting impression on the Spanish supporters, in addition to the Olmo and Torres combination that put Spain ahead.

The Arsenal player made four excellent stops, one of which involved diving to save Albanian striker Broja’s close-range attempt.

David Raya was a key player in preventing goals from being scored against the home squad and showcased his excellent footwork with five well-placed long passes.
David Raya deserves praise for the work he did. Coach Luis de la Fuente may even bench Unai Simon in order to use the Arsenal player in the 2024 European Cup round of 16.
