This is an opportunity that could have knocked out Real Madrid. Bukayo Saka was responsible for a penalty obtained by Mikel Merino early (12th) during the quarter -final return of the Champions League between the Spanish club and Arsenal, this Wednesday evening.

The English winger tried to play it daring, with a panenka, but he had the bad idea to send it on one side … left, precisely that which Thibaut Courtois had chosen. Result: the Londonian attempt was postponed and the Gunners lacked an opportunity to sink the reigning champion.

This failure could even have become much more problematic if the penalty that Real obtained a few moments later, for a fault of Declan Rice on Kylian Mbappé, had not been canceled after revision of the images by François Letexier, the French referee of this meeting. Fortunately for Arsenal, this missed finally remained without consequences.
