Fans hail 'humble' Declan Rice after Champions League hero opens up on 'fearless' approach from Arsenal team looking to 'prove a point'

Declan Rice left Arsenal fans lost for words with his staggering performance against Real Madrid, but even the man himself revealed he couldn't quite believe what he had done after the game.

Rice scored two sensational free-kicks against Real Madrid, before Mikel Merino's cherry on top sealed a 3-0 win against the Champions League holders in a stunning night for Arsenal.

Few would have predicted the result, and despite some cagey moments at times, the Gunners came through the first leg with a sizeable margin to defend in the second meeting in Madrid next week.
