      William Saliba has warned Arsenal they cannot DEFEND 3-0 lead at Bernabeu and must go for the win against Real Madrid

      by

      WILLIAM SALIBA has warned Arsenal they would be foolish to try and DEFEND their 3-0 lead against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu.The Gunners stunned the reigning and 15-time European champions in their Champions League quarter final first leg thanks to two stunning second half Declan Rice free-kicks.Declan Rice netted two amazing free-kicks to down Real MadridCredit: GettyRice had never previously scored a free-kick in his professional careerCredit: GettyWilliam Saliba has called for Arsenal to attack Madrid again in the second legCredit: GettyMikel Merino’s strike shortly after sees Mikel Arteta’s men go to Madrid next week with a three-goal cushion – something Los Blancos have NEVER overcome in a knock-out first leg.Yet French defender Saliba is wary of Madrid’s status as the crazy comeback kings on their own patch – and told Arsenal to fight fire with fire in one of Europe’s greatest arenas.The 24-year-old said: “We are not scared. We want to go there and win the game.“We cannot defend the whole game. We won 3-0 but we know it is not finished. There are a lot of things that can happen.read more arsenal“It was incredible because to win in a quarter final like this against Madrid, in front of our fans, is amazing. But now we have to do it again next week.“One of the best [nights of my career] and I hope it’s not the last one.”Boss Arteta has been criticised in the past for his tentative approach in big games away from home, preferring to set up not to lose instead of going for the win.In March 2024, Arsenal went to the Etihad needing three points against Manchester City to put them in pole position to win their first Prem title for 20 years.Most read in FootballCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITSInstead, they defended deep and had just 27.5 per cent possession and two shots on target in a 0-0 draw – ultimately being pipped to the title by City on the final day by two points.The Bernabeu clash will be a chance for the Spanish coach to prove he has learned his lessons when it comes to competing for the biggest honours.Paul Merson suffers awkward wardrobe malfunction live on Sky Sports as he jumps up to celebrate Arsenal goalArteta has also spoken in the past about needing “magic moments” to see out tight games, and he got just that with Rice’s world class free-kicks in the 58th and 70th minute against Carlo Ancelotti’s Madrid.England midfielder Rice had never scored a free-kick in his professional career, and defied instructions from set-piece coach Nicolas Jover to go for goal instead of crossing.It was also Arsenal’s first goal from a direct free-kick since September 2021 when Martin Odegaard scored against Burnley in a 1-0 win at Turf Moor.Saliba laughed: “I don’t see that! [from Rice in training] It’s the first time I’ve seen a good free kick from Dec. We don’t score a lot of direct free kicks.“I am so proud of him and I’m sure he will score again.”Arsenal remain without a recognised striker with Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus out injured, while Saliba’s defensive partner Gabriel was recently ruled out for the season after hamstring surgery.Saliba added: “We don’t want to hide behind the injuries. We know that we haven’t been so lucky this season but we have to keep going.Read More on The Sun“We have a lot of good players who can step up. We did well today and it gave us a lot of confidence for what is coming.“It gives us a lot of confidence for what is coming next. We have to keep going like this, even if we have a young team, we can win.”Arsenal ratings vs Real Madrid as Declan Rice’s free-kick thunderbolts earn him an ELEVEN out of 10BEND it like Beckham? More like bend it like Declan…It was a set-piece clinic from the Arsenal midfielder as he scored the first free-kicks of his career against Real Madrid – and the first player in Champions League history to score multiple direct free-kicks in the same knockout stage game.Thibaut Courtois was on hand to save Real Madrid in a fast paced first half as he pulled off a fine double save to deny a Rice header and a follow-up effort from Gabriel Martinelli.The deadlock was finally broken in the 58th minute as England star Rice whipped in a sensational free-kick.Rice then sent the Emirates into the stratosphere with as he added a second with an even better free-kick from the left side of the goal which he rifled into the top right corner.Mikel Merino then swept a devastating third into the bottom corner from a low cross to put the cherry on a remarkable night.Rice’s epic showing was enough to earn him an unprecedented ELEVEN in our player ratings.Here’s how SunSport’s Jordan Davies rated the rest of the Gunners… More

      ‘A performance to remember’ – Lewis-Skelly’s stunning stats against Real Madrid as Arsenal star wins over Spanish press

      by

      MYLES LEWIS-SKELLY laid down another marker in a breakthrough season as Arsenal hammered Real Madrid.The left-back, whose Arsenal career started with a yellow card before he’d kicked a ball, has enjoyed a meteoric rise at the Emirates this term.Myles Lewis-Skelly produced a sensational performance against Real MadridCredit: GettyThe Arsenal star bagged an assist for Mikel Merino’s goalCredit: GettyMerino fired home Arsenal’s third goal of the eveningCredit: GettyStats showed a near-flawless performance from Lewis-SkellyAnd on Tuesday night the England star put on arguably the most impressive display of his career so far as he dominated the European champions.In Spain, the press are very much looking forward to the arrival of another top English full-back, Trent Alexander-Arnold, at Real Madrid this summer.But this week the papers there were falling over themselves to praise Lewis-Skelly.Commenting on a “mature” display, Mundo Deportivo wrote: “At just 18 years old, he put in a performance to remember, both in defence and attack.”READ MORE ARSENAL NEWSAnd Marca, praising his assist for Mikel Merino, commented: “Lewis-Skelly controlled the front, amazing in his mobility throughout the field, he put the pass into the area and with his left foot, Mikel Merino placed it next to the post.”Meanwhile the stats showed that Lewis-Skelly had produced an attacking display very much reminiscent of Alexander-Arnold.The stat that stood out the most showed that, despite being a left-back, Lewis-Skelly had played the vast majority of his football in the Real Madrid half.During the match, Lewis-Skelly would manage 74 touches of the ball and complete a whopping 54 passes out of 57 attempted.Most read in Champions LeagueBEST ONLINE CASINOS – TOP SITES IN THE UKAnd, as can be seen in the pass map, the left-back was not content merely to retain possession as he regularly attempted through balls and usually saw them come off.In Alexander-Arnold, Real Madrid will be signing a player known for being one of the best attacking full-backs in the world, but who has been plagued by claims that his defensive contribution has never been up to scratch.’Give me your right foot please’ – Crocked Arsenal star issues plea to Declan Rice in dressing room after stunning goalsHowever, as Lewis-Skelly marauded forward time and time again, there were few, if any, concerns about his defensive play.The England starlet was tasked with keeping a watchful eye on in-form Real Madrid winger Rodrygo, which he did in exemplary fashion.The Brazilian, who was one of the best players on the pitch when Real Madrid knocked out rivals Atletico, was kept quiet throughout the evening.He managed just one touch in the Arsenal penalty area on a night where the front three of him, Vinicius Jr and Kylian Mbappe – all of whom have been touted as potential Ballon d’Or winners – was made to look distinctly average.Lewis-Skelly played most of his football in the Real Madrid halfAnd he was never afraid to attempt the ambitious passThe average position stats showed the extent to which Mikel Arteta’s men pushed the European champions backRodrygo endured a quiet game as he was well-martialled by the Arsenal left-backA pair of stunning Declan Rice free kicks set the Gunners on their way to a shock win over the European champions.But it was Lewis-Skelly who rounded things off with a brilliant assist for Mikel Merino to give Mikel Arteta’s side a commanding 3-0 lead.And if the Gunners are to defend that lead at the Bernabeu and round off a famous Champions League triumph, you suspect Lewis-Skelly will play a big part in it.

      Recruiting free-kick hero Declan Rice: chasing lost points or smart strategy?

      by

      DECLAN RICE (£4.5m) shocked the football world on Tuesday night.Arsenal’s all-action midfielder scored two sensational free-kicks to help his side beat Real Madrid 3-0 in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final.Man of the momentCredit: Dream TeamRice channelled David Beckham, Juninho Pernambucano and Lionel Messi all at once to produce a set-piece masterclass that will live long in the memory.The England international banked 19 Dream Team points for his efforts to add to the six he earned against Everton at the weekend.His combined haul of 25 points is unmatched this Gameweek although Brennan Johnson (£2.8m) may catch up if given substantial minutes when Tottenham host Frankfurt in the Europa League on Thursday night.The point is that Rice is very much in the spotlight but would it be wise to transfer him in prior to Gameweek 31?Rice stunned Carlo Ancelotti’s sideCredit: GettyDream Team managers know not to chase lost points; transfers should always be made in relation to what comes next, not what’s already happened.It’s unlikely Rice will ever repeat what he did at the Emirates on Tuesday night, let alone in his very appearance.However, while it would be unreasonable to expect another brace of stunning free-kicks, there’s enough evidence to suggest the 26-year-old is a viable option.With 242 points to his name, Rice ranks joint-sixth among players in his position.Most read in FootballPredominantly viewed as a defensive midfielder, his attacking contributions should not be underestimated.Rice now has 15 goal contributions (seven goals, eight assists) this season and he ranks seventh among all players for bonus points with 39.Arsenal making the Champions League semi-finals would be HUGE for Dream Team bossesCredit: GettyAgainst Real Madrid, he used his ball-striking ability to breach Thibaut Courtois but all season long he has used his set-piece prowess to provide opportunities for his team-mates.In fact, only Mohamed Salah (£7.5m) has created more big chances in 2024/25 (all competitions).Rice’s whipped deliveries have been a key factor in Arsenal’s fruitful set-pieces this campaign, particularly from corners.A quick look at the schedule suggests this is a good time for Dream Team bosses to stock up on Mikel Arteta’s favourites.The Gunners are one of just three teams set to fulfil four fixtures across the next two Gameweeks.Gaffers should be very interested in Arsenal assets at this moment in timeCredit: GettyIn Gameweek 31, Arsenal host Brentford in the Premier League before travelling to Madrid.Then in Gameweek 32, they visit relegation-bound Ipswich before welcoming Crystal Palace to the Emirates.Read More on The SunSome gaffers may be perturbed by the fact Arsenal are currently scheduled to blank in Gameweek 33 but that will change if they progress to the semi-finals of the Champions League, now a highly likely outcome.Rice’s brilliant free-kicks may have come and gone but there could be more points to come in the near future.Score PredictorPlay Score Predictor with Dream Team this season!FREE to play£250 weekly prizePredict scores of five selected Premier League fixtures and earn points for accuracyMost points wins weekly cash prizePLAY NOW More
