Following England's 3-0 round-of-16 victory over Senegal at the Al Bayt Stadium, Bukayo Saka said he has dared to dream of World Cup Glory ahead of the Three Lions quarter final clash with defending champions France. When asked if he had ever imagined himself playing in a World Cup final and lifting the coveted trophy, the Arsenal forward said he has "always allowed myself to dream".
Saka added his third goal of the tournament on Sunday evening, as Gareth Southgate's men's "massive" victory gave the England faithful some justified confidence of what is ahead in the tournament. Downing Street added its voice to the booming cheers of the fanbase, with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s official spokesman saying: “He wishes the best of luck for the rest of the tournament.”
England fans in Doha were optimistic ahead of a challenging clash against France on Saturday at the Al Bayt Stadium, with one stadium asserting he will continue wearing his "lucky" England shift and shorts. Saka, when asked if he allows himself to dream or shuts out such thoughts, told reporters: “I always allow myself to dream.”
