From the source

David Raya has said Arsenal are using the pain of losing on penalties against Paris Saint-Germain in last year’s Champions League final to “make it better this year”.

The Spain goalkeeper produced an outstanding save to help Arsenal hold off Slavia Prague on Wednesday as Mikel Arteta’s side moved up to third in the league standings with 10 points from four matches.

Arsenal will face Borussia Dortmund next at home this month before hosting Real Madrid on 9 December in a showdown that could be vital to their chances of finishing in the top two and ensuring the second leg of their first knockout tie and any that follow would be at the Emirates.
