Those two superlative Declan Rice free-kicks which downed Real Madrid on Tuesday night were still being chewed over at the Emirates, four days on.
So much so, Rice’s celebration after striking his second goal in the 3-0 first-leg victory of the Champions League quarter-final tie was the matchday programme cover — for Arsenal’s Premier League game against Brentford.
It was a special night, arguably the finest since the Emirates opened in July 2006, hence why that match is still being reflected upon. But Saturday’s front cover also served as a reminder for Rice to further capitalise on a particular aspect of his game.
