London: Declan Rice scored two outstanding free kicks and Michael Marino added one-third as the weapons received a command to get 15-time European champion Real Madrid 3-0 in the out class in the first phase of its quarter-finals in the UAE. “
In the second half of the first phase of the quarter -finals at the Emirates Stadium, Rice scored two royal free kicks.
Michael Marino added the third goal of the weapon, before Real’s Edward Kamonga was sent on charges of kicking the ball in the closing minutes, and the Spanish giants were abandoned.
The talent of rice curves cannot be reduced, even with the real keeper Thibot Cortus – usually affected by the Champions League nights – England’s midfielder’s thunderbolts could not go anywhere.
Surprisingly, Rice never scored a free kick in her career before her first real net of her first missiles was laid.
It did not deserve more than a weapon for a firm performance, which brutally exposed the real injury.
Men of Michael Arteta will travel to Barnabio on April 16 to move forward in the semi -final tie against Paris St. Germain or Austin Villa on April 16, which meets in the first phase of his quarter -finals on Wednesday.
Gunners have not reached the Champions League semi -finals since 2009, but now the target is in their grip after one evening, which will become the most memorable in the club’s floor history.
Arteta described the conflict as a “biggest night” of her career with Real because she urged her players to write their history by winning the crown of Arsenal’s first Champions League.
He became so successful that even the artist was surprised.
Arsenal Trail Premier League leaders Liverpool appears to be the destiny of 11 points and the third one in the second season.
But the Champions League now offers real hope of the first major trophy since the 2020 FA Cup, provided they can finish a job in Madrid next week.
Baren Munich defeated Baren Munich in the quarter -finals last season, ending Arsenal’s only Champions League final against Barcelona in 2006.
In fact, it was a significant defeat because 15 times European champions were punished for the flaws who had already defeated them 10 times in the term, because they were four points behind the La Liga leaders Barcelona.
Weapons in Dreamland
Jud Belungham was widely anonymous, and Kalyan Embopene and Vanus Jeenier posed only the risks of the release after a promising start.
Vanus Junior threatened in the opening stages, when Embope raised it inside the weapon area.
Embrope’s power speed cleared him from the defense of weapons in another raid, but the French star shot directly on David Raya.
The weapons showed no signs of sung through the Real Studed attack, and from the cross of the Jorne Timber, Rice’s great header forced a penalty from Thibout Cortus, which withdrew to stop Gabriel Martinley’s efforts.
MBP was flogging in side -nuts with severe angles, but was unable to fight the weapons in the real second half, and the Gunners deserved it in the 58th minute.
The rice set a distance of 25 meters from the round and whipped a fine -free kick around the real wall and in the remote corner.
It was a wonderful strike that even the former Real Defnder and Set Peace Master Roberto Carlos, who are watching from the stands of the Emirates, would be proud.
The weapons attacked once again in a remarkable order, seeing that the Cortevis had rescued the Martinley blast before the Marino was shot dead by recovering, David Alaba hacked the line, and Cortevis once again denied Marino.
The real ropes were on, and the rice caused another catastrophic shock in the 70th minute, which hit a one -stricken free kick from 20 meters in the corner of the top when Cortis was caught over the thin air.
Since the enthusiastic weapons fans “Declan Rice, we got it half the price”, its million not even looked like a hyperble.
The weapons had not yet ended, and Marino put weapons in Dreamland five minutes later with a clinical ending from 12 meters when the UAE turned into the Pacific Ocean.
