Arsenal star David Raya had an excellent match against Albania in his first start for Spain at EURO 2024.
The Spanish team entered the final match of the EURO 2024 group stage . Their opponent was Albania, a team that almost had no chance of advancing to the round of 16.
Having already secured a ticket to the next round, the Spanish team made 10 changes in terms of personnel. Stars such as Unai Simon, Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams were all given a rest for this match.

Replacing these players were Ferran Torres, Dani Olmo and David Raya. All of them did not disappoint the coaching staff when they shone against Albania.
Besides the combination between Olmo and Torres that helped Spain take the lead, David Raya really left a strong impression on Spanish fans.
The Arsenal star made four impressive saves, including a diving save from a close-range shot from Albanian striker Broja.
Not only excellent in helping the home team avoid conceding goals, David Raya showed his excellent footwork with 5 accurate long passes.
David Raya’s performance deserves praise. Coach Luis de la Fuente may even remove Unai Simon to use the Arsenal star in the round of 16 of EURO 2024.
