Real Madrid fans have all been saying the same thing about Bukayo Saka’s performance in Arsenal’s 3-0 win in the Champions League.
Mikel Arteta’s team created a historic evening at the Emirates Stadium as they thrashed the European champions 3-0 to take a major step towards the Champions League semi-finals.
Declan Rice netted two superb free-kicks, meanwhile, Mikel Merino scored the fourth goal of his career against Real Madrid to seal the win for Arsenal in the first-leg.
Rice will have stolen the headlines with his brace, however, it was the performance of Saka which has the Madrid supporters talking after the match.

Real Madrid fans so impressed by Bukayo Saka’s performance
Real Madrid fans were so impressed by Bukayo Saka’s performance for Arsenal as he humiliated David Alaba down Los Blancos’ left side.
Aalaba was tasked with stopping Saka, however, the Austrian could not deal with the 23-year-old who was such a threat for the Gunners.
Carlo Ancelotti was already having a headache picking both his full-backs and his decision to start the former Bayern Munich defender against Saka backfired big time.
Reacting after the match, Madrid supporters took to X to share their admiration for the winger’s display at the Emirates Stadium.
One fan said: “One minute into the match, Bukayo Saka is already playing a key role in creating danger. What Arsenal’s Premier League title bid would have been like if he hadn’t been injured.”
Another added: “Saka and Martinelli are showing how real wingers play, meanwhile, Vinicius is out there as the leader of the shocking wingers’ brigade for Madrid. He just tries to do everything wrong on some days.”
There was yet more praise for Saka: “Real Madrid, less comfortable than Arsenal, knows that if the match continues like this and they resist the duels of Saka and Martinelli, their big blow will come with some dizzying action from those up front.”
Finally, another Madrid fan claimed: “Saka and Odegaard were unstoppable, while Alaba was completely lost.”
How good were Bukayo Saka’s stats vs Real Madrid?
Saka could have had a handful of assists in the first half had Arsenal had a centre-forward, given some of the deliveries he put into the box.
| Stat | Total |
| Minutes | 74 |
| Touches | 38 |
| Accurate passes | 17/22 (77%) |
| Key passes | 1 |
| Crosses | 9 |
| Duels (Won) | 3 (3) |
The winger attempted nine crosses against Madrid as he kept getting the better of Alaba and flashed balls across Madrid’s six-yard box.
Again, Rice may well have stolen the headlines with his incredible brace of free-kicks, but Saka showed why he is dubbed as ‘Starboy’ by the Gunners’ support.
