""The goalkeeper has had an absolute shocker as he has done in another couple of cup finals. When we first saw the goal I said, 'I feel sorry for the lad', because everyone knows what he's been through in the previous finals with Chelsea.""
""Mikel Arteta does not owe Kepa anything, he owes Arsenal fans the best possible chance of winning a trophy in six years. They've won one trophy in nine years...""
""The goalkeeper comes to the club because he knows he's second-choice. Yes he can play through the rounds but when it comes to the final that has to change, for me, because they haven't won enough trophies and this team need to get over the line.""
""The difference with Man City is Pep Guardiola does owe James Trafford. He brought Trafford in last...""
Mikel Arteta chose Kepa Arrizabalaga as the starting goalkeeper for Arsenal in the Carabao Cup final against Manchester City, despite David Raya being the first-choice keeper.

Jamie Carragher criticized Arteta's decision, emphasizing that he should prioritize the team's success over loyalty to Arrizabalaga. Carragher noted that Arsenal has struggled to win trophies and that Arteta owes it to the fans to make the best choices for victory.
