Arsenal delivered a stunning performance in last night’s clash with Real Madrid, dominating from start to finish in a commanding 3-0 victory. Declan Rice stole the spotlight, scoring two sensational free-kicks, while Mikel Merino added a third to seal the win.
Arsenal legend Thierry Henry, who knows the weight of performing against a club like Real Madrid, was full of praise for Rice’s incredible display.
Henry Amazed by Declan Rice’s Champions League Brilliance
Rice was undoubtedly the standout performer on the night. While already considered a top-class talent, the high-stakes Champions League matchup against Los Blancos was a major test — one he passed with flying colors.
From the opening whistle, Rice was everywhere: controlling play, providing constant support down the left, and troubling Madrid’s defense with smart late runs into the box. His two expertly-taken free-kicks secured him the Player of the Match title.
Thierry Henry, speaking on CBS Sports after the match, was visibly impressed with the England international.
Reflecting on Rice’s performance, Henry said: “The way you played tonight was crazy. It honestly looked like you were out to prove something — I don’t know to who, maybe your teammates, the fans, or even yourself — but you played like a man possessed.”
