Declan Rice: Arsenal midfielder has fun in the Champions League for a free kick against Real Madrid

Arsenal is a team that is famous for its threats in set parts, but direct free kicks are something different.

ARTETA, after the match since September 2021, they have not scored a goal, so Real Madrid against two points in 13 minutes “showing who invented this sport,” he said.

Arsenal’s free kicks are usually taken by Bukayo Saka or Odegaard, but Rice said that he saw the area around the Madrid wall for the first goal and that he was confident in Saka.

The UK wing player replied, “If you feel, go,” he replied – and he’il be pleased to do.

“It was not logical to pass the ball in this respect [which Arsenal’s set-piece coach Nicolas Jover was signalling to do on the touchline]. Rice must be a sensitive transition, “he added.

“I am happy to buy it because it was magic.”

He didn’t stop Jover from stopping in the celebration, and Rice then said that the coach “claimed”.

Arteta added: “He can claim it if he wants, it doesn’t matter. Incredible.”

It was the target he deserved Arsenal’s dominance, but the best has not yet come.

Alan Shearer said it was “absolutely incredible” and former Real Madrid midfielder Clarence Seedorf said, “Not even Superman,” he said.

“Looks out too much, you don’t even realize. We will touch and adjust – me and Martin [Odegaard]But Mbappe stood very close.

“But then I thought, I have the goalkeeper, I practice it very much – I would go for it. I trust the first. It wouldn’t be important if it passed over the bar.

“Now he won’t hit me because there’s another leg to go. I’m excited, happy, I’m above the moon.

“He was in his closet, but I hit the wall too much or passed over the bar.

“But in a few years, this will really hit me that what I do tonight is really special.”

For Rice, this was the greatest moment in an Arsenal shirt, but Arteta scored the third goal and midfielder Mikel Merino, was not surprised how the former West Ham Man made up.

“If there is a player who can do this, he’s hitting how clean, this Declan,” he said.

“But you have to carry out this at the highest level. And against one of the best goalkeepers in the world.

“He was very determined because we’ve been talking for the last few months. He did tonight.”

Merino added: “He has one of the best shooting skills I’ve ever seen in my career. I was surprised, maybe you are. I hope more in the future.”

Former Arsenal defender Matthew Upon said that BBC Radio 5 was a “night to be remembered” for Rice Rice and “making a difference alone.”
