🗣️ David Raya: “A great moment personally and collectively. I'm over the moon to save two penalties in the Champions League to get through to the quarter-finals.

“They made it so difficult over there, they played their game, but we scored the goal we needed and it went down to penalties and it was a crazy moment.

“Apart from physically from the boys, mentally it's difficult, but especially for me to be focused every second, you can't switch off.

“This means everything. You play football for these kind of things and I'm lucky to be playing for Arsenal, to be in the Champions League and to get through to the quarter-finals. We're just going to enjoy the night.” [via BBC]

🗣️Granit Xhaka says he was happy to see #liverpool and Man City draw for #Arsenal's Premier League title chances this season: “It’s not so easy to put this feeling into words when you’re at the top for so long and still don’t win the title. I really hope that it doesn’t happen again.

“Sure. Of course we saw Liverpool’s result against City. Of course you’re happy for that former club where you had seven wonderful years. Unfortunately we didn’t make it last year, hopefully it will work this time. They’re doing a great job, winning eight out of eight games recently. Keep it up!”

Once a Gooner...🤝❤️

🗣️David Raya on the amazing #arsenal win over Porto tonight: "I think we played a really good game. From the start we dominated. We have worked on penalties a lot this year for nights like this.

You are a hero, David!
