“I've never seen anything like it”

• Arsenal will face one of Bayern and PSG in the grand final. In the round, the Parisians prevailed with an improbable 5-4.

• The 2026 Champions League final takes place in Budapest on May 30.

Visibly emotional, the footballer provided a funny moment in the post-match interviews. The hero of the evening jokingly “scolded” the BBC reporter, reproaching him for extracting him from among his colleagues just as the celebration on the lawn was in full swing.

The Englishman stated that the fans have created an atmosphere that he has never seen before and he hopes that this story will end well in Budapest.

Bukayo Saka, statements after Arsenal – Atletico Madrid 1-0: “Easier said than done”

“You're taking me away from the party, man! (no – laughs at the reporter) It's so beautiful. See what it means to us and what it means to the fans.

Yes, we are so happy. Easier said than done. This was a high pressure game, it means a lot for both sides. We managed to manage it well and reach the final.

All the craziness started before the game, when I was arriving by coach at the stadium. I've never seen anything like it, the fans were incredible.

Sometimes the ball bounces in your face, sometimes it doesn't, but the important thing is to be there when the opportunity arises. I have been there and achieved my goal. You can't get to this level without pressure.

It's normal for people to talk about you and criticize you. That's why you have to ignore the noise around you. It's a beautiful story and I hope it ends well in Budapest,” said Bukayo Saka, according to the BBC.

It's chaos [în vestiar]. I don't think you can underestimate what we have achieved in this competition so far. I think we have every right to celebrate that moment. We just try to enjoy everything.

We knew from the start how important this match was. If a moment like that doesn't motivate you, then no football match can. After we made it 1-0, we had the belief that we would win. I felt that something special was happening.

Incredible scenes here. I have never seen Emirates in such an atmosphere, that special connection between the team and the supporters that is so talked about.

Some of those in attendance weren't even born when the team last reached the finals. Now the natural question arises: can I go all the way? Maybe this is the team that can pull it off this year.
