BUKAYO SAKA was cool as ice in the penalty shootout as Arsenal beat Porto on penalties.
However, the 22-year-old was left flustered after the game when he was asked to sing on live TV.

Bukayo Saka was asked to sing on CBSCredit: CBSHere is how some of Saka’s numbers looked in the game
Saka played the full duration of Arsenal’s Champions League last-16 clash against Porto.
Leandro Trossard’s first half goal was enough to bring the tie to penalties, where David Raya became the Gunners hero with saving two penalties to seal the team’s passage into the quarter-finals.
Following the memorable Emirates affair, Saka made his debut on CBS Sports, who had the usual suspects of Thierry Henry, Jamie Carragher and Micah Richards joined by presenter Kate Abdo.
After telling Carragher to wear an Arsenal shirt for the second time on the night, Abdo asked Saka whether he knew the song the Arsenal faithful had for him.
A group of jubilant fans could be heard in the background near where the crew were located, which prompted Saka, Carragher and Richards to ask them to start the song.
Abdo then asked Saka to sing the song himself, to which he replied: “You want me to sing, live on TV?”
The winger tried to rope Abdo into singing with him, but Saka then quietly started singing his song after being drowned out by Carragher and Richards.
Following a line or two he was joined by Carragher and Richards in singing, which left Saka in hysterics.

After the brief bit of singing, Richards then asked Saka about his barber.
To which Saka asked: “Is my trim not good enough?”

Richards then said: “Nah, I’m just saying, It could be better.”
Saka then revealed he his last haircut was last week Friday.
It followed a running joke on the show after Richards famously revealed he spends £200 a pop on haircuts with three visits a week, equating to approximately £24,000 a year.
The panel had also collared Saka’s team-mate Declan Rice into answering his own hair habits, with the 25-year-old revealing he pays £24 to keep his barnet looking sharp.
Arsenal’s win over Porto means it is the first time since 2010 that the Gunners have made it this far in the Champions League.
They will find out their fate in the quarter-finals in the draw on Friday.
The fallout from last night’s game was marred by Porto boss Sergio Conceicao claiming Mikel Arteta had insulted his family in Spanish during the tie, an allegation Arteta strongly denies.
