🔗 Share this article David Raya Backs Team's Strength as Key to Multiple Trophy Challenge The Spanish shot-stopper has stated that intense competition for first-team spots is driving Arsenal's impressive run, with the keeper believing that the team's roster under Mikel Arteta is so remarkable that they can compete for multiple honors this season. Stunning Wins Showcase Arsenal's Strength Arsenal's recent 4-0 triumph over Atlético Madrid represented their sixth straight victory and tenth triumph in 12 matches. With only three goals conceded—the fewest at this stage in the club's history—they have secured a narrow advantage at the top of the table and a perfect record in the European competition after three matches. Squad Changes and Depth Crucial to Achievements Raya has started in nearly every game, except for one Carabao Cup fixture, but Arteta has consistently rotated the team following significant summer investment on new signings. In response about competing for several pieces of silverware, he responded, "Yes, I believe so. The depth is incredible. We have numerous options who can perform in multiple positions." For instance, against Atlético, a teammate was introduced as a striker and can also play as a No 8 or No 10. That versatility is available to the manager, and he's using it to our advantage. It's looking very, very good, and that depth is crucial for us. Rivalry Drives Performance Raya continued, "This situation gives you an extra level 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 training and on the pitch, which is vitally significant, and the whole squad accepts it." Defensive Solidity a Collective Effort Arsenal have let in just a single goal from open play so far, and the keeper has faced a mere one attempt in their recent victories against three opponents. "Everyone contributes from the striker to the goalkeeper," he said. "Each player is committed, no one wants to concede, and we aim to intercept passes before it reaches the midfield. By winning it back, we can launch a quick counter. This is essential for the entire team to understand this mentality, and opponents aren't creating numerous opportunities, which is ideal."
