The remarks of the Gunners legend caused dissatisfaction among many Arsenal fans, but the French legend later explained on social media, saying: "I want to clarify that I think Saka is a very good player and I respect him very much. Someone asked me to compare him with another player before... I said that the other player was better in some aspects of technology... This does not mean that the player is better than Saka... I really think Saka is better, he is an excellent No. 7 player! #COYG❤️"
After the Champions League match with Paris Saint-Germain, Saka posted a selfie of him and Pires in the locker room on social media. Both of them smiled at the camera. Saka wrote: "We are friends again."
