Thierry Henry has revealed he messaged Bukayo Saka after the Euro 2020 final.
The Gunners and England youngster missed the decisive penalty in the shootout loss to Italy.
Megasportsarena.com reports that the Arsenal legend contacted Saka after the game, calling the 20-year-old a “hero” after stepping up to take the penalty.
“I know Bukayo, so I dropped him a line to tell him that actually for me, you going to present yourself to take that penalty, you are a hero,” Henry told GQ.
“I didn’t [care] actually, him scoring or not scoring. Even the courage to go in there, to go and take the penalty at his age, for me he’s a hero.”
