According to the report on talkSPORT and UK Sun, Jose Mourinho explained that Bukayo Saka is a youngster who will definitely help England in the final of the EURO 2020.

“I played an 18-year-old player in a Champions League final and he is still the youngest player to score in a Champions League final. No problem.
“Of course we coaches normally we think about all these details but in the end when we make these kind of decisions we are sure of what we are doing and Southgate had no problem to do that, not only with Saka but also with other players giving them chances to play.
“The kid is proving my experience theory, which is experience has nothing to do with age.''

Earlier, Legit.ng had reported how fans watching the England-Denmark game on Wednesday, July 7, made a strange observation during the penalty that knocked the Danes out of the Euros.

England went through to the final courtesy of a 2-1 win which had to come in extra time after Denmark did a good job in subduing the Three Lions.

Kasper Schmeichel was particularly in inspired form on the night and made some excellent saves to keep out the likes of Raheem Sterling, Jack Grealish and Harry Maguire.

However, when England were awarded a penalty in first half of extra time, the Leicester City keeper saved Harry Kane’s penalty but was unable to keep out the follow-up.

Hawk-eyed fans however noted something sinister in the build-up to Kane taking the penalty as Kasper Schmeichel had a laser pointed at his face seconds before the penalty was taken.
