Arsenal Battles to Draw Against Atalanta in Champions League Debut.

David Raya pulled off a jaw-dropping double save from a penalty, keeping Arsenal in the game during their Champions League opener against Italian side Atalanta. 

His heroics not only denied the opposing team a crucial goal but also ignited a spark in the Gunners, showcasing his incredible reflexes and composure under pressure. 

Despite the intense match, Arsenal managed to secure a hard-fought draw, thanks in large part to Raya's standout performance.

The Spaniard made a stunning double save, first diving low to deny Mateo Retegui's penalty, then swiftly getting across to clear the striker’s follow-up header off the line. 

This thrilling moment was the highlight of an otherwise forgettable match in Bergamo.

Chances were few and far between, with Raya not required to make any other saves outside of that brief two-second sequence. 

Arsenal struggled offensively, failing to register a single shot between the 18th and 75th minutes. 

Like Europa League winners Atalanta, the Gunners managed only two shots on target, both coming during that dramatic double save.
