Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka is reportedly displeased with a recent revelation by Jack Grealish, despite both players enjoying strong starts to the season. Saka has scored three goals for league-leading Arsenal, while Grealish has contributed one goal and four assists for Everton.
The controversy stems from England's Euro 2020 final against Italy, where Saka missed the decisive penalty in the shootout, leading to widespread abuse and lasting trauma for the then-19-year-old. Grealish revealed on Everton's YouTube channel that he had volunteered to take a penalty but was seventh in the pecking order, implying more experienced players could have taken responsibility instead of Saka.
This admission has intensified criticism of former England manager Gareth Southgate's decision to assign such a crucial penalty to a teenager. The miss continues to haunt Saka's career, with commentators frequently referencing it despite his otherwise excellent penalty record since the incident.
