‘I wasn’t focusing on the past – only on now’: Saka revels in penalty redemption
England winger steps up in shootout against Switzerland‘I’m a guy that is going to put myself in that position’
On an extraordinary night in Düsseldorf, Bukayo Saka exorcised his Euro 2020 demons with a penalty strike in a phenomenal shootout for England and immediately insisted his sights were set on making history for the nation by winning Euro 2024.
Saka had already delivered a player-of-the-match performance, having scored a wonderful 80th-minute goal to rescue England and take their quarter-final here into extra time, before his redemption moment from the penalty spot, which helped put England through to the Euro 2024 semi-final against the Netherlands in Dortmund on Wednesday night.
