That may be more of an issue for this new Champions League than Mikel Arteta, who seemed content enough to come from Atalanta with a 0-0 draw and an opening point. That was largely thanks to both the intelligence and instinct of David Raya.

David Raya credited Arsenal’s goalkeeper coach Inaki Cana after his double-save preserved a clean sheet during Thursday’s Champions League draw against Atalanta. Atalanta had been given the opportunity to take the lead in the second half of the pair’s league phase opener after Thomas Partey was penalised for a foul on Marten de Roon.

Arsenal's goalkeeper David Raya was the hero on a dull night in Bergamo, making a brilliant save from a penalty to ensure the Gunners left Atalanta with a point.
