Declan Rice stunned Real Madrid with two sucker-punch free-kicks on Tuesday night in a performance that has been hailed far and wide, though one former Champions League winner proved harder to please than most.
The English midfielder broke the deadlock with an exceptional free-kick from range, before following it up just 12 minutes later with an even better effort that arced into the top corner.
Mikel Merino then added a third in the 75th minute to make it 3-0, and the Gunners closed out a massive clean sheet win against the competition's holders, Rice naturally picking up the Player of the Match award for his troubles.
