Following the European Championship final, Bukayo Saka was attacked along with his England teammates Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford. The trio missed in the crucial penalty shootout to hand Italy victory.
Arsenal star Saka was just 19-years old when chosen to take the penalty which would ultimately decide the fate of the match. The racist attacks on Saka were abhorrent to see and later learn about in even more disturbing detail. Nothing can take the actions of these horrid people back, but Saka triumphed over the hatred and has starred for Arsenal this season.
Saka’s season peaked against Chelsea when faced with the task of taking a penalty for the first time since the Euro final. The spot-kick would give Arsenal a two-goal lead and control of the match with mere minutes to go.
