Euro 2024: Arteta Admits Saka Made Him Nervous

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.
