Declan Rice scored two incredible free-kicks as the Gunners, Arsenal, gunned down Real Madrid 3-0 in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final showdown.<\/p>\n
Rice\u2019s pair of world-class strikes came in the space of just 12 minutes to spark wild celebrations under the lights in north London on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n
Mikel Merino, assisted by Myles Lewis-Skelly, added the third goal to leave the Spanish champions hanging by a thread in the Champions League.<\/p>\n
The Gunners will surely feel they have a massive chance of reaching the semi-finals ahead of the second meeting with the Spaniards on April 16.<\/p>\n
Real Madrid star Eduardo Camavinga was shown a red card just before full-time and will miss the second leg in another blow for Carlo Ancelotti.<\/p>\n
Declan Rice, quizzed about his free-kicks, told Amazon Prime: \u2018It\u2019s been in the locker, but I\u2019ve hit the wall too many times or it\u2019s gone over the bar. Originally we were going to cross it and then I\u2019ve just seen the wall and the goalkeeper\u2019s position. So I thought just go for it. And Bukayo [Saka] said to just feel it.<\/p>\n
\u2018The second one I had the confidence. I hit it. It\u2019s not going to hit me now because there\u2019s another leg to go. I\u2019m excited, I\u2019m happy, I\u2019m over the moon. But in a few years time this will really hit me that what I\u2019ve done tonight was really special.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
