Ally McCoist leads the praise of 'monumental' Declan Rice after superb Real Madrid display - as Rio Ferdinand says he 'ran the show' over both legs

Declan Rice has been hailed following his man of the match performance against Real Madrid.

Rice put in a brilliant display in the second leg of Arsenal's Champions League quarter-final tie against Real on Wednesday, with the Gunners winning 2-1 on the night to progress to the final four thanks to a 5-1 aggregate victory.

It came after Rice also picked up man of the match in his side's 3-0 first leg win last week when he scored two stunning free kicks.

The England international was everywhere at the Bernabeu and helped to ensure that Real never threatened a comeback in the tie as the Gunners cruised through.
