Declan Rice's Free-Kick Mastery Shines in Arsenal's Champions League Triumph
Declan Rice scored two stunning free-kicks for Arsenal in their win over Real Madrid.
After 338 games in his professional career, Declan Rice had never scored a free-kick. But in the Champions League quarter-final first leg against Real Madrid, everything changed. At the Emirates, with the Gunners on top but the score level at 0-0, Rice stepped up and curled a brilliant free-kick past Thibaut Courtois to give his side the lead after 58 minutes. Just 12 minutes later, he did it again, becoming the first player to score two free-kicks in a Champions League knockout match. This sensational performance left everyone in awe, including his teammates and the coaching staff. The win puts Arsenal in a strong position for the return leg, but Rice knows Real Madrid are a formidable opponent at the Bernabeu.
