Kai Havertz has lauded David Raya as the world's best goalkeeper following his crucial saves in Arsenal's 1-0 win over Sporting in the Champions League quarter-final first leg. Havertz, who scored the decisive goal, credited Raya's outstanding performance, saying he is 'unbelievable' and 'the best 'keeper in the world' over the past two seasons. Raya made several vital saves, including a remarkable near-post stop and a fingertip save that hit the bar, to preserve Arsenal's clean sheet.
