Declan Rice stole the show for Arsenal as they stunned Real Madrid in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final by scoring two stunning free-kicks.
Mikel Merino sent the Arsenal fans into a frenzy at the Emirates Stadium with a wonderful finish to score the third goal and add to the visitors’ woes on the night.
Bukayo Saka expressed his desire to stay at Arsenal and repaid Mikel Arteta’s faith with an impressive display against Carlo Ancelotti’s side as well.
While one could argue that Rice and Saka were the Gunners’ best players against Real Madrid, Arsenal fans laud Myles Lewis-Skelly as he put in a truly accomplished display at the highest level once again.
