Arsenal Stun Real Madrid As Declan Rice Delivers Free-Kick Masterclass
Arsenal stormed to a stunning 3-0 win over Champions League holders Real Madrid as Declan Rice's free-kick masterclass left the Gunners within touching distance of a place in the semi-finals. Rice scored two majestic free-kicks in the second half of the quarter-final first leg at the Emirates Stadium. Mikel Merino added Arsenal's third goal before Real's Eduardo Camavinga was sent off for kicking the ball away in the closing minutes to leave the Spanish giants in disarray. The brilliance of Rice's brace cannot be understated, with even Real keeper Thibaut Courtois -- usually so inspired on Champions League nights -- unable to get anywhere near the England midfielder's thunderbolts.
Unai Emery Relishes Aston Villa's 'Huge Challenge' Against PSG
Aston Villa manager Unai Emery is relishing the prospect of taking on Paris Saint-Germain in the quarter-finals of the Champions League as the English former winners seek to end the French side's quest for continental glory. "Aston Villa is a historic club that won the European Cup in 1982 and of course it is very special in football," Emery pointed out at a press conference in Paris on Tuesday on the eve of the first leg. "When I arrived at Villa two-and-a-half years ago I knew this history. Of course my challenge at that moment was to compete for trophies, and to get back into Europe. To be in the Champions League is really amazing but maintaining consistency is the next challenge.
Late Davide Frattesi Strike Gives Inter Milan Edge Over Bayern Munich In Champions League
An 88th-minute Davide Frattesi goal took Inter Milan to a 2-1 win at Bayern Munich on Tuesday, giving the Italians the edge after the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final. Undermanned Bayern, nursing a bulging casualty ward, set the tone in the first half-hour, with Michael Olise and Harry Kane narrowly failing to break through. Inter opened the scoring on the 38-minute mark when Marcus Thuram's clever back-heel found Lautaro Martinez who blasted home. The Italians maintained control until Bayern veteran Thomas Mueller, days after announcing a summer departure after 25 years at the club, scored the equaliser with a typical poacher's finish with five minutes remaining.
