Bukayo Saka has hinted at the opponent he wants Arsenal to play in the Champions League final.
Arsenal secured their spot in this season’s Champions League final after defeating Atletico Madrid 2-1 over two legs on Tuesday night.
Saka scored the game-winning goal for his childhood team, who defeated Atletico Madrid. They will now play either Bayern Munich or Paris Saint-Germain in the final game.
According to Football 365, the England star indicated that he prefers Luis Enrique’s team after Arsenal lost to them in the previous season’s semi-final, but he has not stated whether he wants to play PSG or Bayern in the final.
Saka Speaks On Who He Prefers In Final
“You can’t ask me that!” Saka responded to Richards when asked who he wanted Arsenal to face in the Champions League final.
“You know I’ll have to give a media trained answer! You know deep down who we want to face, that’s all I’ll say.”
Saka has also thought back on the challenges he has had to get to this point in his career after missing a penalty in the Euro 2020 final loss to Italy.

“That moment after the game, only myself and a few other people that are close to me will understand what I’ve been through in my career and the journey that I’ve been on to reach this stage,” Saka added.
“I just wanted to say thank you to God in that moment, because God is what gets me through all of these things.
“Some players will not recover from certain situations I’ve endured, but he’s been my strength through it.
“I’m just happy to be here and proud of myself that I can stand here today and still be playing at the highest level and have the opportunity to play in the Champions League final.”
