Against Real Madrid in the Champions League quarterfinals not long ago, Saka provided a timely reminder of his quality, continuing his great performance for Arsenal so far.
On April 16, in the second leg of the Champions League quarterfinal at the Santiago Bernabéu, the England international struck a breathtaking goal.
The Gunners advanced to the quarterfinals, where they will meet Paris Saint-Germain, thanks in large part to his assist in their 2-1 win.
On Rio Ferdinand Presents, Hargreaves reiterated his belief that 23-year-old Saka might join Real Madrid’s elite club, following in Cristiano Ronaldo’s footsteps.

“The football was beautiful,” he gushed about Saka’s goal (against Real Madrid). From a wide start, he wanders in. Instinctively, he was aware of what was to come. He can play for us” Real Madrid will be thinking after that, and Arsenal won’t be happy about it.
“Winning the Premier League is still a huge task for him to accomplish at Arsenal over the next three or four years. Give Trent a look. At 27 years old, the same age as Cristiano Ronaldo when he left Manchester United for Real Madrid, he won the league and the Champions League.
There, you put yourself to the test; it’s the next logical step. When Saka is about 26 years old, I could see him doing that.
