Arsenal fans have ONE big issue with Bukayo Saka's Panenka penalty against Real Madrid

Arsenal have ONE big issue with Bukayo Saka's failed Panenka penalty against Real Madrid.

Saka had a golden chance to increase Arsenal's three-goal lead following their incredible 3-0 victory in last week's first-leg tie at the Emirates.

Match referee Francois Letexier pointed to the spot following a VAR review in the opening stages of Wednesday's clash.

Martin Odegaard held onto the ball before passing it to Saka, who was unable to open the scoring at the Bernabeu.

He attempted a Panenka which was saved by Real goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, who correctly dived to his right.

Arsenal fans on social media were quick to react to Saka fluffing his lines from the spot as they all made the same point.

They took exception to Saka not striking the Panenka down the middle.

One X user wrote: "Lmao Saka, down the middle at least with the Panenka."

A second added: "A panenka is supposed to go down the middle Bro."

A third said: "Saka that was really really bad at least put it in the middle."

A fourth weighed in: "Did Saka mean to hit that in the middle of the goal? Because that is one of the worst penalties I’ve ever seen, what on Earth was he thinking."

Another commented: "My theory: Saka got caught in two minds there. People dink down the middle, not to the side."

On TNT Sports commentary, Ally McCoist said: "I can't believe it. The goalkeeper does unbelievable. It's not a great pen. He gives the goalkeeper an opportunity to lift a left hand, and the left hand is strong."

Moments later, Real won their own penalty before a lengthy VAR review overturned Letexier's decision.
