Iván Fresneda blames compatriot for Sporting defeat to Arsenal | OneFootball

Iván Fresneda considered David Raya, Arsenal’s goalkeeper, to be the main culprit behind Sporting’s 1-0 defeat in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals. The right-back believes the Lions deserved, at the very least, to take a draw back to London.

"He was excellent. It was a game we should have at least drawn. At our home ground, we deserved to score at least one goal", he told 'Prime Video', before further praising his fellow countryman. "Raya is an excellent goalkeeper. Congratulations to him and to Arsenal", he concluded.

Despite missing the match against Santa Clara last Friday due to a viral illness, which ended in Sporting’s 4-2 win in the 28th round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, the Spanish defender played the full 90 minutes against the Gunners.

. And in that same vein, the green-and-white hierarchy is willing to listen to offers for the player, but only within certain figures. The club’s board has set the bar at €30 million to consider selling the full-back.
