Bukayo Saka and Eberechi Eze have both shared emotional voice note moments ahead of the Champions League final.
As a result, fans have been given a powerful insight into the journeys behind their success.
According to TNT Sports, the clips show the pair reacting to deeply personal messages from those closest to them. Meanwhile, Declan Rice also received a heartfelt tribute from former West Ham teammate Jarrod Bowen.
Unsurprisingly, these moments have quickly resonated with supporters online. In particular, they capture the emotional reality behind Arsenal’s title-winning squad as they prepare for their biggest game yet.
Bukayo Saka left speechless by emotional message from former teacher
Saka’s reaction captures the weight of the moment in its purest form.
After listening to a voice note from his former PE teacher at Greenford High School, the Arsenal star struggled to find the words. As a result, his response felt completely raw and unfiltered.
“I don’t know what to say… I’m speechless, man,” Saka admitted.
The message itself reflected a journey years in the making. In fact, his teacher recalled how Saka once promised he would lift the Premier League title for Arsenal. Now, that promise has become reality.
“Now that I’ve done it, it’s crazy… I don’t know what to say,” he added.
Ultimately, it is a full-circle moment. Not only does it highlight Saka’s talent, but it also shows the belief that surrounded him long before he reached this stage. This moment also reflects the wider mood around the squad right now, with growing belief and expectation building ahead of the final.
Eberechi Eze delivers raw emotion as brother’s message hits home
However, Eze’s moment arguably carries even greater emotional weight.
The message from his older brother reflects everything behind the scenes that fans rarely see.
“You’ve got thousands of people flocking into a stadium… millions around the world tuning in… but nobody knows the intricacies of what God has put you through to get here.”
As he listened, the impact was immediate.
“Yo… you man trying to finish me in this place… that’s from my older brother… he’s been there for all of it.”
In that moment, the emotion says everything. More importantly, it highlights just how much this journey means beyond football itself.
Declan Rice message shows the bond behind Arsenal’s success
Meanwhile, Rice’s reaction adds another layer to the story.
The midfielder received a message from Jarrod Bowen, congratulating him on winning the Premier League. Naturally, it struck a personal chord.
“To say you’re a Premier League winner has got a lovely ring to it… you deserve every bit of success.”
Even now, the moment still feels surreal for Rice.
“It hasn’t sunk in yet, honestly… just to say I’m a Premier League champion is crazy to believe.”
That belief is not just internal either, with outside voices increasingly pointing towards how Arsenal could approach the game tactically.
He also reflected on his decision to join Arsenal. From the very beginning, he believed in the project and the direction of the club.
“I just knew from the moment I met the manager… this club was gonna be coming back to having good times.”
As a result, that belief has now materialised.
