David Raya and Manuel Neuer featured in high-profile Champions League matches this week as discussions continue regarding the world's best goalkeepers. Raya helped Arsenal secure a 2-2 draw against Bayern Munich in their quarter-final first leg at the Emirates Stadium. The Spanish international has kept 12 clean sheets in 25 Premier League appearances this season, according to official Premier League statistics.
Neuer returned to the Bayern Munich starting line-up following a recent muscle injury. The veteran goalkeeper faced several shots as the German side avoided defeat in London. Meanwhile, Mike Maignan remains a central figure for AC Milan as they prepare for Europa League action, per Sky Sports.
Performance metrics from Opta indicate that Raya leads the race for the Premier League Golden Glove award. Statistics from UEFA show Neuer has maintained a high save percentage in European competition this term. These displays have prompted further debate among analysts regarding the current hierarchy of elite global goalkeepers, according to reports from The Athletic.
