Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice is having a fantastic evening. In the first UEFA Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid, the Gunners' player scored a brace in just 12 minutes.
Remarkably, both goals were scored by Declan with direct free-kick strikes. First, he curled the ball towards the right post, then delivered a powerful shot into the top right corner.
Interestingly, throughout the current Premier League season, Declan Rice has only scored two goals. Yet, in the current Champions League, he already has four, with two of them against the "royal club."
Interestingly, Declan Rice became the first player in UEFA Champions League play-off history to score two goals in one match with direct free-kicks.
Let's recall that Arsenal and Real Madrid are playing the first match of their encounter today. In a week's time, the rivals will face off again at the Santiago Bernabeu.
