Former Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas chose Bucayo Saka for his special admiration last night as gunners beat Real Madrid 3-0.
Declan Rice stole the show with two free kicks in the famous victory at Emirates Stadium, but Saka also showed why he was so important to this Arsenal side.
England International just returned in the last few games after missing most of the season due to injuries.
Still, he seemed never to leave as the quality of the ball caused defensive problems for Real Madrid all night.
Saka ended up winning the fouls on both Rice’s free kicks, and Fabregas felt he was an honorable hero from the night.
CESC Fabregas praises Bukayosaka
After such a great display in this big game, Fabregas is giving Saka his credit, so see below…
Fabregas knows one or two things about delivering to Arsenal on a big stage like the youth.
It was 20 years ago, but another great generation has come at Emirates Stadium and Saka is one of the biggest success stories.
The 23-year-old has already played over 250 games for Arsenal, scoring 68 goals, but 12 goals for England’s 43 caps.
Meanwhile, the appearance of fellow academy alumni Miles Lewis Skelly and Ethan Nuwaneri will also be seen this season.
Fabregas formed part of its Arsenal side, winning a famous victory over Real Madrid in 2006, with Gunner reaching the Champions League final of that season.
They want to do something similar to the term, and hope that another victory over the Los Blancos will probably serve as a good foreshadowing, but of course they also aim to win the trophy for the first time in their history.
