UEFA Champions League: Kai Havertz reserved special praise for goalkeeper David Raya, calling him ‘the best ‘keeper in the world,’ after his late strike secured a crucial first-leg advantage in the UEFA Champions League quarter-final.

Havertz struck deep into stoppage time to hand Arsenal FC a narrow win in Lisbon, but the German forward was quick to highlight Raya’s standout performance that ensured the visitors kept a clean sheet.

"He's unbelievable - I still think people underestimate him in the football world, but for the last two years, I don't know, maybe he's been the best 'keeper in the world and we're all glad to have him here,” Havertz was quoted by Arsenal.
