Bukayo Saka couldn’t stop smiling after helping England secure a Euro 2024 semi-final spot against Holland. England trailed after Breel Embolo’s late goal for Switzerland, but Saka’s brilliant curling effort from the edge of the box leveled the score. The match went to penalties, where Saka coolly scored to help England win 5-3.
Reflecting on overcoming his Euro 2020 final miss, Saka said, “I’m a guy who is going to put myself in that position. I believed in myself.” England boss Gareth Southgate praised Saka’s bravery and performance, saying, “Bukayo was so brave. He is one of our best, so we were never in any doubt that he was going to take one.”
Gary Lineker and Rio Ferdinand lauded Saka’s positive attitude and pivotal role, with Ferdinand calling him “England’s most important player.” Saka, who endured racist abuse after his Euro 2020 penalty miss, has used the experience to grow stronger. Now, with two games left, England aims to make history.
