Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka has been compared to Lionel Messi by one of his England teammates after starring off the bench in Monday’s 3-3 draw with Germany.
The 21-year-old was left out of the starting lineup following Friday’s 1-0 defeat to Italy but made a huge impact as a 66th minute substitute last night, helping The Three Lions come from 2-0 down to take a 3-2 lead within 12 second half minutes at Wembley Stadium.
And although the game eventually ended all-square, England midfielder Jude Bellingham compared Saka to Paris Saint-Germain forward Messi by nicknaming him ‘Leo’ following his influential super-sub performance.
