Arsenal’s manager Mikel Arteta revealed that he nearly reprimanded Bukayo Saka for missing a penalty in the initial stages of their Champions League match against Real Madrid. Saka had the opportunity to give Arsenal an early lead, which would have increased their aggregate score to 4-0. Nevertheless, he made amends by scoring the first goal in Arsenal’s 2-1 victory at the Santiago Bernabeu, securing a 5-1 aggregate win on Wednesday.
