Arsenal's Gabriel Martinelli celebrates scoring his team's second goal against Real Madrid at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. AGENCIES

Rice 'immense'

But, even then, Arsenal was unflustered, and quickly snuffed out any Madrid momentum.

Fullbacks Myles Lewis-Skelly and Jurrien Timber locked down the threat of Vinicius and Rodrygo out wide.

And Rice won the midfield battle against his England teammate Jude Bellingham, with a virtuoso performance that saw him crowned man of the match in both legs.

"Tonight he was immense," said Arteta. "In the moment that the game was 50-50, he got on the ball and turned the game."

In the past two seasons, Arsenal has fallen just short to an all-conquering Manchester City in the Premier League title race.
