Arsenal saw Bukayo Saka miss an early penalty in real madrid when the winger tried a daring broken effort – only to see Thibaut Courtois save to ignite the Bernabeu
Bukayo Saka missed a golden opportunity to make Arsenal forward in their Champions League confrontation in the Santiago Bernabeu – because his early penalty was saved by Real Madrid Thibaut Courtois's keeper.
The Gunners star stepped up when the visitors were given a place early, but was too casual with his effort. Saka tried a penalty in Panenka style, which Arsenal would have placed 1-0 at night and demonstrably killed the draw. But Courtois suspected well and was able to push his efforts when the Bernabeu erupted.
Real need to destroy a 3-0 deficit from the first leg and was able to deny the Premier League side the opening goal. Criticism was quick to get away Saka's when the winger plimed his lines on the big stage. The Englishman has just returned from a long -term injury of an injury and scored on his return to Fulham, but his poor execution of 12 Yards did not help the Champions League of Arsenal if they look in the semi -final.
The North -London fan base was all on the same page – astonishment that Saka had tried such an effort.
One said, “What did Saka think.” Another added: “After Saka kills me”. The frustration continued as someone else claimed: “Saka, you can't crazy …
Former Arsenal -defender Matt Upson, summarized on BBC Radio Five Live, added: “I just can't believe the selection of punishment here of Bukayo Saka.

VAR jumped into the game for the second time and insisted on the referee to take a second look before he reversed his own decision, because Rice's contact was minimally considered. The fine of Arsenal was because of VAR who advised the civil servant to view a challenge on Mikel Merino.
Raul Asencio took the Spanish midfielder when he tried to get to the end of a corner with the former real Sociedad man who went down, originally overlooked by the referee.
