    By IANS News April 09, 2025 • 09:54 AM View: 943
    Champions League: Two sensational Declan Rice free-kicks and a fine Mikel Merino finish saw Arsenal demolish Real Madrid 3-0 in the Champions League quarter-final first leg.

    Arsenal controlled the early exchanges, and came close twice in quick succession in the 13th minute, Declan Rice having an effort blocked by Raul Asencio before Thibaut Courtois parried Thomas Partey’s low strike.

    The tempo only increased as the half went on and decisive goalkeeping interventions were required at either end, David Raya saving from Kylian Mbappé at close range and Courtois keeping out a Rice header and a Gabriel Martinelli follow-up with an eye-catching double save, UEFA reports.
