EURO 2024: SAKA MADE ME NERVOUS – ARTETA
Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, has admitted he was nervous when Bukayo Saka stepped up to take a penalty against Switzerland at Euro 2024.
Saka was one of the three players that missed a spot-kick in the final of the competition three years ago.
And after his goal made it 1-1 in the quarter-final clash, the Arsenal youngster was one of the England stars that converted in the shoot-out.
“I was very nervous, it plays back in your mind a few years ago that moment but he showed a lot of guts and determination and composure to take it the way he did.
“His role is constantly growing and evolving, he is a super important player for us and one of the main players for the national team,” Arteta told the Daily Mail.
