David Raya reveals favourite pundit in hilarious interview with CBS

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.

After the match, Arsenal's hero spoke with CBS Sports and was asked by Richards who his favourite pundit on their popular Champions League coverage was.

And it was bad news for Gunners legend Henry who was brutally snubbed by one of the key members of the current crop.

Richards added: 'That's what we do,' with Carragher chiming in, 'you're normally good when there's someone on the spot'.

The Arsenal keeper then said: 'I like you all but I think for me it's Micah. Micah is always quite funny.'

The former Man City defender then ran over to the screen and hugged and kissed the projection of Raya as the rest of the panel laughed hysterically. 

'I love you,' he declared.

Carragher then asked, 'What does he smell like?', to which Richards replied: 'He smells great.'

It was all too much for Henry who planted his head in his hands in disappointment while Carragher, slightly more magnanimous in defeat, bore a beaming grin on his face.

The light-hearted exchange was a welcome break from a midweek featuring some tense moments on the show, which has proved a rampant producer of viral clips over the last few years.

On Tuesday night, Henry got in an awkward spat with former US star Mike Grella while the pair were covering AC Milan's home clash with Liverpool.

The Frenchman claimed the 'the American-based players in the MLS were better [when he played there between 2010 and 2015] than the American players now'.

Grella replied that he had 'replaced' Henry in the league to which the former striker spat back: 'Don't go there! You didn't replace me. You won't win that argument.'

The tense exchange finally ended with Grella accepting that American players from his era were better than the current crop and the whole studio could breathe a sigh of relief.
