News about Mateo Retegui

Over the last eight years, Atalanta's remarkable rise from yo-yo club to Champions League regulars has come despite a reputation for being slow starters.

David Raya has revealed his favourite pundit in a hilarious interview with CBS Sports, leaving the team of Micah Richards , Thierry Henry , Jamie Carragher and Kate Abdo in stitches. The Spanish goalkeeper was the one shining light for Arsenal in a drab goalless draw with Atalanta in the Champions League on Thursday night. With Thomas Partey having concededed a penalty for a foul on Ederson , Mateo Retegui put the ball on the spot in a bid to give the Italian side a shock lead. But a quick dive to his right followed by a reflex save to his left saw Atalanta brutally denied an opener and Raya mobbed by his teammates.

Raheem Sterling has broken a remarkable Champions League record after making an appearance off the bench in Arsenal 's bore draw with Atalanta. The England international came on for the Gunners in the 73rd minute to inject some much needed energy into a lacklustre away display on Thursday night. David Raya had produced two moments of brilliance to save Arsenal's blushes in the tricky Champions League opener in Italy, making an outstanding double save to twice keep out Mateo Retegui after a penalty was awarded. And despite Mikel Arteta throwing Sterling on to the pitch, along with Leandro Trossard and Jorginho in a string of substitutes, the Gunners had to settle for a point.

Fans have heaped praise on the referee for Arsenal 's 0-0 draw away against Atalanta, after he penalised Ben White for a lesser-spotted infringement. David Raya produced two moments of brilliance to save the Gunners' blushes in a tricky Champions League opener in Italy on Thursday night. After a goalless first-half, Thomas Partey was penalised for bringing down Ederson in the penalty area. Arsenal's Spanish goalkeeper then made a double save for the ages, diving to his right then his left to keep out a shocked Mateo Retegui. Arsenal's display in the Gewiss Stadium was laboured and their consistent struggle to get into attacking positions meant the side finished with just two shots on target and deserving of no more than a point in the new-look league format.

ISAAN KHAN IN BERGAMO: Mikel Arteta hailed David Raya's miraculous double save as 'one of the best I've seen in my career' with Arsenal rescuing an unlikely point against Atalanta in the Champions League last night. In the Gunners' opening match of the competition, the score goalless, Raya had denied Mateo Retegui's second-half penalty with a dive to his right-hand side, the ball rebounding back to Retegui. The forward headed it goalwards but was denied again by the Spaniard, who miraculously sprung up to scoop the resulting effort off the line.

ATALANTA 0-0 ARSENAL - ISAAN KHAN AT THE GEWISS STADIUM: It was a double save worthy of pretty much any superlative. Take your pick. Exceptional, outstanding, incomparable. How David Raya denied Mateo Retegui not once, but twice, only he knows. It required every inch of his elasticity and was the difference between Arsenal leaving Italy with a point or nothing. Not that they deserved much, their display hampered by a willingness to cede the ball to their opponents and struggle to get into attacking positions. On 51 minutes, Atalanta's Retegui stood still on the penalty spot, ready for his spot-kick after Thomas Partey had fouled Ederson. The striker struck his penalty to Raya's right, and the Spaniard palmed it out with both hands. The ball then rose in the air. Retegui had the whole goalframe to head it into. His header was a bit central, but that takes nothing away from Raya's rapid leap up to scoop the ball off the line to his left-hand side.

JOE BERNSTEIN AT THE GEWISS STADIUM: Mikel Arteta's side had to call on David Raya to pull off a fine double save from Mateo Retegui as they were forced to defend for large periods without the ball. They struggled to create chances at the other end of the pitch in the absence of captain Martin Odegaard, as the Europa League winners got the better of the Premier League title chasers for large parts of the game.

Switzerland fully deserved to progress into the quarter-finals where they have a potential date with England. Berlin had been the venue for Italy's triumph at the 2006 World Cup but they never looked like pulling off a repeat as they were second-best in every department. Here, Mail Sport's JOE BERNSTEIN runs the rule over who impressed - and which players should do better - in the first of the last-16 matches.
