Despite the defeat in the final, from an Arsenal perspective, this tournament was good for Saka, and there's no disgrace in losing to the undisputed best side in Europe. Saka played a major role in the England equaliser, which was beautifully despatched by substitute Cole Palmer.
In a previous game, Saka kept England in the tournament against Switzerland with a brilliant goal and then he also scored from the spot in the penalty shoot-out.
Perhaps Rice will look back on this tournament as something solid but unspectacular. Nevertheless, you learn more from defeat than victory, they say, so the Arsenal boys will just have to take this on the chin and bounce back.
No more finishing second, Arsenal! Never mind the lack of a Bank Holiday, it's time to win something at club level!
