'I don't think I'll ever do that again!' - Declan Rice admits he's watched his free-kicks in Arsenal's thrashing of Real Madrid 'about 100 times'

<p>Rice played a starring role in Arsenal's triumph over Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals as the Gunners thrashed the reigning champions 5-1 over two legs to reach the last-four stage after 16 years. The English midfielder <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/arsenal-player-ratings-vs-real-madrid-declan-rice-mikel-merino-first-leg-champions-league-quarter-final/blt5f650abf693005a2" target="_blank">scored two stunning free-kicks</a> in the first leg at Emirates Stadium as the Premier League side hammered Los Blancos 3-0.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Ahead of their semi-final second leg clash against Paris Saint-Germain, Rice was asked about his stunning strikes against Madrid. One of the journalists claimed that he had watched those free-kicks "about a 100 times", to which the player replied: "Probably about the same, to be honest with you. Yeah, it was a special moment, obviously those two goals. Just the fact that it was back-to-back. The first one and then the second one straight after. I'm not sure I'll probably ever do that ever again to be honest with you. But it was a real special moment and obviously to help the team get through. To be honest with you, I' still speechless, when I look back at them it's just incredible, so hopefully, maybe tomorrow night I can get another one, let's see."</p>

WHAT DECLAN RICE SAID

<p>Arteta's Arsenal head to the Parc des Princes on Wednesday as they bid to turn around a 1-0 deficit from the first leg in north London. The Gunners will have Thomas Partey back but will be without a host of first-team starters, including Gabriel, Kai Havertz and Jorginho. PSG, on the other hand, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/will-ousmane-dembele-play-against-arsenal-psg-boss-luis-enrique-reveals-plan-complicated-champions-league-semi-final-second-leg/blt4f7ea857acfaac7d" target="_blank">will have Ousmane Dembele at their disposal</a> as the Frenchman has regained fitness after an injury setback last week. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>After facing the French champions on Wednesday in Paris, Arsenal will be back in action in the Premier League on May 11 as they take on Liverpool at Anfield.</p>
