On the road to the final, Saka became a fans’ favourite over the course of Euro 2020, with his industrious displayers.

The 19-year-old was introduced as a second half substitute during the final at Wembley on Sunday and was selected to take the decisive penalty, afer Jordan Pickford’s save from Jorginho kept England’s hopes alive.
