Gunners fans made the cheeky chants after a TNT Sports commentator said something controversial about Bukayo Saka.
After Arsenal fans made fun of him, RIO FERDINAND said something on his Ryanair trip to Portugal.
Fans of the Gunners chanted “Saka’s world class” at Ferdinand while he was on the trip.
The TNT Sports commentator said last week that Saka is “not world class yet,” even though he has had a great season.
When he went to Portugal to watch Arsenal play Porto in the Champions League, he was able to find the funny side.

Ferdinand sent X, which used to be Twitter, a video of himself making the statement. He wrote, “Interesting @Ryanair flight with the Arsenal fans this morning…”Without a question, @BukayoSaka87 is top-notch! It will become “world class.”
In the video, he said over the tannoy, “Hello guys, I just want to say that having you Arsenal fans here has been a real pleasure.I have to say that Saka is a great player, but he’s not quite world class yet. He will be one day, but not yet.

When he made his announcement, the Arsenal fans on board laughed and chanted even more.
Since the beginning of the season, Saka has played 32 times for Mikel Arteta’s team and has scored 15 goals and set up 13 others.
He will want to do better when they play Porto in the Champions League on Wednesday.
That was the last time Arsenal played in the knockout rounds of a competition—a 10–2 loss to Bayern Munich over two legs in 2017.
For the Gunners, making it past the Portuguese team will be their first trip to a quarterfinal since 2010.
