Arsenal’s teenage left-back, Myles Lewis-Skelly, was instrumental in the team’s commanding 5-1 aggregate victory over Real Madrid, effectively shutting down Rodrygo Goes across both matches.
Yet, it was a particular incident that stirred the emotions of the Santiago Bernabéu crowd.
Following Bukayo Saka’s goal, Lewis-Skelly turned toward the home fans and shouted “vamos” — Spanish for “let’s go” — during his celebration.
The gesture didn’t sit well with the Real Madrid supporters, who made their displeasure known.
Despite the backlash, Lewis-Skelly remained composed, smiling proudly as Arsenal marked a landmark triumph.
Spanish media outlets heaped praise on the young defender, highlighting his poise and impressive skillset under pressure.
Arsenal stars Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka also applauded Lewis-Skelly’s mature display, noting how he played with a level of experience beyond his age.
Meanwhile, Mikel Arteta’s heartwarming celebration with his players after the win added a special touch to a memorable night.
