“I seriously don’t want to cause chaos in the dressing room yesterday that was why I let the matter slide, what Arteta said to me after substituting me yesterday is what I will not take from anybody not even my father,” David Raya finally reveals what Arteta said to Him yesterday that really got Him upset

Arsenal’s goalkeeping dilemma just took a dramatic turn — and this time, it has nothing to do with clean sheets or match stats. Instead, it’s a personal and emotional revelation from David Raya that threatens to rock Mikel Arteta’s dressing room at the Emirates.

The Spaniard, currently on loan from Brentford, has finally broken his silence after being controversially substituted during Arsenal’s most recent fixture. While fans initially speculated it was tactical, Raya has now opened up about what really happened — and the truth is both shocking and deeply personal.

“I seriously don’t want to cause chaos in the dressing room yesterday,” Raya began in a post-match interview. “That was the only reason I let the matter slide. But what Arteta said to me after substituting me is something I will not take from anybody… not even my father.”

That revelation sent shockwaves across social media. Fans and pundits alike were left stunned — not only by the substitution, but now by the emotional weight behind it. Goalkeeper substitutions are rare unless due to injury, and this one raised eyebrows from the start.

According to behind-the-scenes reports, the incident wasn’t merely about Raya’s performance. The tension had apparently been building up for weeks. The ongoing debate about who should be Arsenal’s number one — Raya or Ramsdale — has been a persistent distraction, and it appears to have finally boiled over.

During the second half of the match, a moment of miscommunication at the back nearly led to a goal. Arteta, visibly furious, called Raya to the sideline and made the rare decision to substitute him on the spot — a public humiliation that many saw as over-the-top.

But the real blow came shortly after, inside the tunnel. Sources close to the team say Arteta confronted Raya directly and, in the heat of the moment, allegedly told him: “If you can’t handle pressure, maybe you don’t belong here.”

That comment reportedly cut Raya to the core. For a player who’s worked his way up through tough clubs, joined Arsenal with ambition, and endured constant scrutiny from both media and fans, the remark felt like a betrayal. It wasn’t just a criticism — it was, to Raya, a dismissal of everything he had fought for.

“You don’t say that to someone who’s been giving his all,” Raya shared with teammates after the game. “I’ve taken criticism. I’ve fought hard. I’ve stayed loyal to the team through all the noise. But when your own manager says that to you in front of others… I’ll never forget it.”

Now, the Emirates is buzzing with uncertainty. Has Arteta lost the dressing room? Has he lost Raya for good? Could this be the final straw that tips the balance back in Ramsdale’s favor? All these questions are now hanging heavily over North London.

Supporters are already split. Some believe Arteta was right to demand more from his players in high-stakes moments. Others think the manager crossed a line by publicly embarrassing his goalkeeper and then following it up with harsh words behind closed doors.

Meanwhile, insiders suggest that Raya is considering his long-term future at Arsenal — especially if the club fails to show trust or issue some form of resolution. “I came here to win titles, not to be humiliated,” he reportedly said. “I respect the badge, but I also respect myself. There are lines you don’t cross — and yesterday, those lines were shattered.”

As Arsenal continues its push for Premier League glory, unity in the dressing room will be vital. But with this latest drama brewing at the heart of the squad, the situation between the sticks might now be the Gunners’ most fragile position — not because of ability, but because of fractured trust.

The coming days will be crucial. Will Arteta speak publicly? Will Raya receive an apology? Or will the silence grow deeper and colder, like the relationship between manager and keeper? One thing’s for sure — this isn’t over.

Stay tuned, Gooners. Because this isn’t just a tactical debate anymore. It’s personal. And the gloves are well and truly off. 🧤💥
