De la Fuente has no doubts about the status as currently among the best keepers in the world.
Discussing Raya and Athletic Bilbao's Unai Simon, De la Fuente stated: "It would be unfair if we didn’t value Unai’s quality, class, career, and professional experience.
"It would be absurd for me to have to come here and reaffirm it, just because he’s Unai Simon. When a goalkeeper is at this level, you have to respect his standing and his career.
"Besides, we have David Raya, who I’m eager for you to ask me about. In England, they consider him the best goalkeeper in the world, and here nobody talks about him.
"The same goes for Joan Garcia (Barcelona) and Alex Remiro (Real Sociedad), let’s be fair. But Unai Simon is indisputable. The others have a lot of talent and class, but everything in its own time."
