Bukayo Saka gave an interesting answer when asked who he wants to play in the Champions League final on May 30.
Arsenal reached the Champions League final for the second time in their history on Tuesday evening as they saw off Atletico Madrid in the last four.
Saka was the hero for his side as he scored the only goal of the game at the Emirates Stadium, ensuring Arsenal emerged victorious 2-1 on aggregate.

Whoever Arsenal play in the final, they will have a very tough job on their hands to be crowned champions of Europe for the first time.
PSG are reigning champions and have already knocked out Liverpool and Chelsea this campaign, while Bayern Munich have been imperious in their run to the final four.
Saka spoke to CBS Sports after the match, and he was asked by Micah Richards which of the two European powerhouses he prefers to face in the Champions League final.
The 24-year-old was initially hesitant to respond, before giving a cryptic answer. He said:
"You can’t ask me that! You know I’ll have to give a media trained answer! You know deep down who we want to face, that’s all I’ll say.”
Saka's comments have sparked debate, with many Arsenal fans trying to work out exactly who he wants to play. Arsenal were beaten by PSG in the Champions League semi-finals last season and many think he wants to play them so they have the chance to get revenge.
Others think he wants to play Bayern, after Arsenal defeated them convincingly in the league phase this campaign.

Declan Rice, considered one of the favourites to win the Ballon d'Or this year, praised the atmosphere inside the Emirates Stadium following the match. He said, per Arsenal's official website: “I can't describe it to be honest with you. It's been coming, this night at the Emirates in general, I think it's the best night at the Emirates that I've witnessed, even better than the Real Madrid game last year.
“From the moment we drove in today, the coaches stopped and we thought, what's going on? Because usually we just drive straight in, and the next thing we just see all the flares and the fans and the goosebumps from all the players looking out the window, it was just incredible.
“I've not seen the Emirates like that, so a big thank you to the fans because we needed that. And when we came in as well, you could feel the energy from everyone. Even if you're tired, it just gives you that energy to keep going, and I think they played a massive part tonight in making us win.
“This era of Arsenal fans, I know people who have been there from the start have had a lot of ups and downs, but I'm sure this is really up there for them. So, I'm happy we've done it for the club and for this set of players and our manager because everyone deserves it, so, so happy.”
