Both sides played to a 2-2 draw in the first leg, as the second leg was expected to be a game-changer. However, that too ended in a 1-1 draw, with Arsenal losing the fixture on penalties.

It was unfortunate for both Arsenal and the Kardashian family, who went to support the London side. But more than the loss, it was Kim who faced backlash for face-timing the player. And it seems that has backfired on Saka as well.

Bukayo Saka gets trolled by teammate

Recently, the Arsenal star joined his England teammates, who are preparing for the Euro 2024 qualifications. After arriving at St George’s Park, the player met with all his respective teammates.

While greeting everyone, he met West Ham midfielder Declan Rice and Manchester United left-back Luke Shaw. As soon as he went to meet them, Rice made a hysterical taunt saying, “Bro he’s been on FaceTime with Kim Kardashian! He don’t want us anymore!”

Shaw and the other two members burst out with a laugh, to which Saka instantly replied, “Do you want me to say hello to you or not, bro?” However, Rice was glad to see his national teammate and quickly gave him a hug, saying, “come here brother! Good to see you, man.”

It was indeed a cheeky dig from Rice at his teammate, as everyone shared a laugh. Nevertheless, they will be looking for positive results in the qualifiers. The Three Lions are preparing for the important clash against Italy and Ukraine.
