Declan Rice was instrumental in Arsenal’s historic Champions League triumph over Real Madrid, making a major impact both on the pitch and as a leader off it.
The midfielder earned man of the match honors in both legs—netting two free kicks in the 3–0 win at the Emirates and dominating the midfield in the return leg at the Bernabeu.
With Real Madrid confident of turning things around, the pressure was immense heading into the second leg. But Rice steadied his teammates in the tunnel with a calm but powerful message: “Nothing to fear, let’s go!”
Captain Martin Ødegaard added to the moment with a passionate shout: “This is on us, guys! It’s f***ing today!” The clip quickly went viral, with fans applauding Rice’s composure and leadership in such a high-stakes moment.
