THE FUSE

The 24-year-old has earned 49 caps for his country and already featured in three major tournaments, yet Petit feels his inclusion in the starting XI is completely unjustified. Continuing his astonishing rant, the Frenchman added: "I’m a huge, huge fan of Saka, but I’ve got to be honest. If I’m his team-mate, I don’t understand it. There are so many strong and talented players who are better than Saka." The forward struggled heavily in the European final, contributing to an overall seasonal tally of 11 goals across 49 appearances. This included seven goals in 31 Premier League matches.
