Bukayo Saka was criticised by Rio Ferdinand after an attempted Panenka penalty went wrong for him in Arsenal’s quarter-final second leg clash with Real Madrid.
The Arsenal maestro has been their go-to star for a number of seasons now, and despite a long-term injury lay-off this term has been their key performer in the Champions League.
This season he has four goals and two assists from six outings in the competition, and he won both free-kicks scored by Declan Rice in the first leg at the Emirates.
With his side 3-0 up on aggregate and handed a chance to make it 4-0, and 1-0 on the night, Saka looked to try and chip the ball over a diving Thibaut Courtois.
The Belgian goalkeeper then stretched his arm out and saved the attempt, handing a huge lifeline to his side.
