Fans are saying it’s time to seriously discuss ONE Arsenal player after his incredible showing against Real Madrid.
Arsenal secured their place in the Champions League semi-finals with a dominant 5-1 aggregate win over Real Madrid, setting up a thrilling clash with Paris Saint-Germain.
The Gunners edged a 2-1 victory in the second leg at the Bernabeu on Wednesday.
Bukayo Saka, who missed a penalty in the first half, made amends by scoring in the 65th minute. Vinicius Jr responded with an equalizer before Gabriel Martinelli netted the late winner.
Arsenal’s emphatic 3-0 win in the first leg proved too much for the defending champions to overcome.
Declan Rice was the star of the show, scoring two stunning free-kicks and delivering a dominant midfield performance in Spain.
The England international drew widespread praise from fans online, many calling him the best midfielder in the world.
One X user posted: “Declan Rice is the best midfielder in the world and I’m done pretending otherwise.”
Another wrote: “Declan Rice is the full package. His work rate is criminally underrated. He’s a machine.”
A third fan added: “That ‘Declan Rice, half price’ chant is real—he’s truly one of the best out there.”
Someone else commented: “Over both legs, Declan Rice has easily been the best midfielder.”
Rio Ferdinand echoed that sentiment on TNT Sports, saying: “Declan Rice has clearly been the standout midfielder across both games. He looks so composed.”
Former Arsenal defender Matthew Upson praised the club’s record £105 million signing on BBC Radio 5 Live, saying: “Declan Rice looks incredibly fit. He delivers top-level performances every game. He’s been a phenomenal addition to Arsenal.”
