David Raya, a Spanish goalkeeper who started his career on loan at non-league Southport in 2014, is set to become only the third player to reach the Champions League final after beginning in non-league football when Arsenal face PSG on Saturday. Raya's journey from struggling fifth-tier Southport to Premier League champion and European Championship winner with Spain is considered unprecedented due to his early career struggles and willingness to drop down leagues for first-team experience.
