On Sunday, two top-notch darts players from England, Luke Littler and Luke Humphries, made an appearance at Manchester Airport after competing in the Dutch Masters tournament in recent days.
The duo had a memorable face-off during the World Championship final a few weeks ago. Humphries was victorious and won the most sought-after prize in the sport.
Littler took revenge in Holland by narrowly winning over his fellow British player in the quarter-final round.
The Nuke managed to enter his third final in a row after defeating Gerwyn Price with an amazing performance. This has led to another face-off against Michael van Gerwen for the second time in a row.
Littler emerged victorious in Bahrain last week; however, in this particular instance, Van Gerwen seized the opportunity to celebrate with a remarkable 8-6 win in a final of exceptional caliber.
On Sunday afternoon, Luke Humphries came back to Manchester with Luke Littler, who was also with him.
The teenager who is 17 years old displayed a beaming countenance despite falling short against Van Gerwen on the day of Saturday.
Littler didn't appear disheartened by the defeat, as the 17-year-old was grinning broadly while engaging in conversation with Humphries as he departed from the terminal.
After the match, Littler expressed his perspective and stated that he would focus on the positive aspects of the game. He also described the game as remarkable.
I exerted a significant amount of stress on Michael, yet he refused to make any mistakes.
He also commended the spectators present in the arena, stating: 'The audience has been spectacular. They were rooting for Michael to emerge victorious, and I understand that. However, I commend them for showing respect towards Michael.'
An individual who is 17 years old was defeated by the professional player, Michael Van Gerwen, who has won the world championship three times. The final score was 8-6 in favor of Michael Van Gerwen.
