Declan Rice emphasized the need for 'magic moments' as Arsenal prepares to face Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League semifinal, trying to overcome a 1-0 first-leg deficit. Highlighting his contribution with two crucial free kicks against Real Madrid, Rice noted that the team must deliver stunning performances to advance. He recognized that despite creating chances, they need to replicate their aggressive approach to seize opportunities. Wayne Rooney added that Arsenal's trophy aspirations might be hindered by a psychological barrier after only winning an FA Cup under Mikel Arteta.
"I think the manager calls them magic moments. He always talks about having someone delivering a magic moment. I think in that game against Madrid, obviously I was able to produce two free kicks, which were incredible."
"The way they move between the lines was really, really smart. But once we worked out how we could beat them, we missed a few chances, but in terms of how we were driving with the ball, giving our wingers one v one opportunities, chances started to open up."
