Arsenal attempted but failed to qualify for Champions League football over the past 7 years, but they did so last season. That being said, they would not be in the 2023–24 Champions League if it weren’t for some of Aaron Ramsdale’s exploits last season. Nobody can deny that the Englishman was fantastic for us as we challenged for the title.
It is sad that the Englishman has yet to taste Champions League action after five games into the competition. Mikel Arteta signed David Raya on loan in the summer and appears to regard the Spaniard as his number one. Raya has been the goalkeeper he has relied on in key games (he hasn’t rotated much) and Ramsdale has been relegated to the bench, and since the September international break, the ex-Sheffield man has only played one league game, Arsenal versus Brentford, which he played because Raya couldn’t face his parent club.
With that out of the way, Arsenal has already qualified for the Champions League knockout stages, thanks to their 6-0 win against Lens on Match Day 5, which ensured that they would finish top in Group B.
With Arsenal already in the round of 16 regardless of how their clash with PSV ends, don’t you think that’s a game Arteta should give Ramsdale his Champions League debut? I believe he should, since there is no reason he shouldn’t. Even veteran Arsenal goalie David Seaman believes Ramsdale should play against PSV.
Seaman said on talkSPORT, “The Champions League is a free hit, so you never know; we might even see Aaron Ramsdale playing for his Champions League debut; that would be very nice.”
I would be unhappy if Ramsdale did not start against PSV, wouldn’t you?

Surely he has to, not to involve him at this point would be the biggest travesty of justice in football.
I wouldn’t be unhappy if Aaron Ramsdale start our PSV Ucl match tonight. Neither will I be sad if he start it. I am practically indifference to any of the 2 Arsenal goalkeepers of Raya or Ramsdale starting the match.
Arteta could start Ramsdale for the match on sympathy ground to appease his fans. Who have been shouting foul him since he has resulted his team goalkeeper department that is seeing Ramsdale dropped from the no1 spot to no2 in the team.
But would Arteta base his match selection team night for PSV on sympathy or sentiment ground, or in-form and top performance in games for Arsenal? I think the latter couldn likely be the case.
