That’s the tie done and dusted now
Madrid can’t come back from this - really poor

Does that mean the Top 13 will get into Europe?

Unlike the Prem, madrid haven't worked out that The Arse can only score from dead balls. Give away silly free kicks and face the consequences.
Perfectly executed by Rice, though it pains me to say it
** edit - well, mostly dead balls...
Arsenal have vastly improved him there. He was blooming awful at free kicks, corners and pens for us.

Fair play to Rice, in 50 years I cannot remember two better free kicks in one match before. Outstanding.

Heck of a result
Should be safely through , can’t recall the last time I saw a Madrid team that poor in the CL

Haha Madrid.
Arsenal the better team, deservedly won the game. Those 2 freekicks are worthy to win a tie like this. Madrid arent dead and buried yet but they're on a ventilator. 1st goal in Madrid next week will be critical.

Exactly this! Let's celebrate the good stuff they did rather than say the opponent was poor. You know how I feel about Rice "I'm so nice" BUT wow what a performance. He really has improved immensely and has the ability, and desire, to take a game by the scruff of its neck as Beckham used to. Take a bow Declan.

Fantastic performance from Arsenal. Has to be their best European performance ever. Was interesting watching on the laptop and then watching Merson in th Sky studio as I was looking at the EFL scores

Since when was Declan Rice a bloody free kick expert?? England have needed one since Becks retired and he's been keeping it under his hat this whole time??

No doubt he'll take one in the next England match and be like Waddle taking a penalty

More likely he will be ignored and we'll still have to endure Kane clattering it into the wall or row Z.

But he's captain so my ball, my free kick. Does make you wonder whether they actually work on free kicks in training as it does seem one dimentional. 25-30 yards out and we'll just shootMore likely he will be ignored and we'll still have to endure Kane clattering it into the wall or row Z.

Was the same at Spurs for donkey's years, Kane repeatedly took them and scored only one in over a decade. He must have been scoring them left, right and centre in training or else I have no idea why he was taking them. I guess they let just let him do what he wants in the hope he wouldn't leave. Free kicks are his kryptonite, he can do pretty much everything else. I'm sure Son even scored two in a game for Korea once, and the next week Kane was still on them for Spurs.
