Saka thinks the penalty has been saved, but Arsenal keeps real Lemon Tada at bay

Bukayo Saka saw his missing penalty, saved by Thibaut Court Court, midway through the very eventful first half of the goal at the Bernabeu.

Despite the mistakes, Arsenal remains the commander of the tie. Because Miekel Arteta’s side is trying to continue talking about the real thing about Bey’s “lemontada.”

However, the ominous signs for the gunners were there from the off-off as Killian Mbappe’s early target was choked out for offside.

Saka then flew a bit of effort into some of the efforts before the winger was given a great opportunity to expand the benefits of tallying three goals on his side when Raul Asensio pulled Mikel Merino down and the referee pointed to the spot.

Missing bukayo!

Real Madrid has a lifeline…

However, the English men chose Panenka, read by Kurmere, who touched on the tame effort around the post, in a chorus of noisy whistles from home fans.

The mistake seemed to just increase the volume inside the stadium. The Los Blancos thought they had their own spot kick when Mbappe fell on the grass under Declan Rice.

However, following a lengthy VAR check, the decision on the field was overturned, leaving the record of Arsenal’s never been recognized against the real thing.

Goalless First 45 appears as a welcome relief for Arsenal fans, but if there is an aspect that should never be amortized, that’s true.
