The first free-kick, when most were expecting Bukayo Saka to step up, saw Rice whip a sensational effort around the wall and just inside Thibaut Courtois’ left-hand post in the 58th minute.

The goal caused delirious celebrations among the home fans and Rice produced an even better one barely 10 minutes later, this time outfoxing Courtois by going across goal from the opposite side, his brilliant strike flying into the top corner to leave Madrid stunned.

Arsenal’s night got even better when, only five minutes later, Mikel Merino, again starting as a makeshift striker, sent a sweetly-struck first-time finish into the bottom corner from the excellent Myles Lewis-Skelly’s square pass.

 

Real Madrid were reeling and their collapse continued into stoppage time, when midfielder Eduardo Camavinga was sent off after receiving a second yellow card.
