🔗 Share this article David Raya Praises Team's Strength as Key to Silverware Challenge The Spanish shot-stopper has declared that fierce rivalry for starting positions is propelling Arsenal's exceptional run, with the goalkeeper believing that the team's roster under Mikel Arteta is so incredible that they can challenge for various titles this season. Stunning Victories Showcase The Gunners' Strength The North London club's latest 4-0 triumph over Atlético Madrid represented their sixth straight victory and 10th success in a dozen games. With only three goals conceded—a record low at this stage in the club's history—Arsenal have established a one-point lead at the top of the table and a flawless start in the Champions League after three outings. Rotation and Versatility Crucial to Achievements The goalkeeper has featured in almost all matches, except for one Carabao Cup fixture, but the manager has frequently changed the team following heavy spending on new signings. In response about competing for multiple trophies, Raya responded, "Absolutely, I think so. The depth is amazing. We have numerous options who can perform in multiple positions." Like in the Atlético match, a teammate came on as a forward and can also play as a No 8 or No 10. Such flexibility is available to the manager, and it's being utilized to benefit the team. It's looking extremely promising, and that depth is crucial for us. Competition Drives Standards The Spain international added, "This situation provides an additional edge in practice and matches because if you slack off, your place is at risk in a fraction of a second. That fosters intense rivalry in sessions and during matches, which is vitally significant, and the whole squad accepts it." Strong Defense a Collective Effort The team have conceded only one goal from open play so far, and the keeper has faced only one shot on target in their recent victories against Atlético, Fulham, and West Ham. "Everyone contributes from the forwards to the goalie," Raya explained. "Everyone is focused, no one wants to concede, and we aim to intercept the ball before it reaches the midfield. By winning it back, we can launch a fast break. It's crucial for everyone to feel this mentality, and opponents aren't creating many chances, which is ideal."
