The England national team qualified for the semi-finals of Euro 2024 after they were more accurate than Switzerland in the penalty shootout, winning 5-3 on aggregate.
The only goal for England during regular time was scored by Bukayo Saka, who scored from a distance to give the ‘Three Lions’ the lead.
The Arsenal star was also accurate from the penalty spot, which is why he was named ‘Man of the Match’ in the end.
Despite the excitement created after qualifying for the semi-finals, Saka stopped to talk about his former team-mate Granit Xhaka, where he did not spare the big words about him.
Saka said that he has great respect and admiration for Xhaka, appreciating his character.
“Granite has won enough trophies this season. I think he’s a great player, a great person. The humility he showed after the game when he came and shook our hands says it all.”
“I have a lot of respect and admiration for him and for Switzerland, they really made our lives difficult tonight,” said Saka./Football Match Up/
