Player ratings: Real Madrid 1(1) – 2(5) Arsenal

Arsenal made history by beating Real Madrid AGAIN on Wednesday night to ensure a comfortable progression to the Champions League semi-finals.

The Gunners were resilient, after Bukayo Saka’s early penalty was saved, it felt like it may not be our night. But the defence stood strong and Saka bounced back to net a gorgeous chipped goal and put the tie beyond Madrid.

Here’s how I rated the players:

David Raya – 9

Jurrien Timber – 8

William Saliba – 7

Jakub Kiwior – 10

Myles Lewis-Skelly – 9

Thomas Partey – 8

Martin Odegaard – 7

Declan Rice – 10

Gabriel Martinelli – 9

Bukayo Saka – 9

Mikel Merino – 9

Men of the match: Declan Rice & Jakub Kiwior I want to shout them both out here.

Kiwior was a huge worry for all Arsenal fans, when Gabriel got injured. But he was near faultless across the two legs on the biggest stage. If he made the mistake Saliba did, then he would be taking pelters.

Rice put in two of the best performances you will ever see. A legendary performance.
