Like life, football is unpredictable. One minute you think you know what would happen, and how it would all turn out, the next minute it's a completely different story- and I'm not even exaggerating that. The Quarter-Finals of the champions League kick started today with the first leg. Arsenal welcomed reigning champions, Real Madrid, while Inter-Milan traveled to the Allianz Arena to face off against the German giants, Bayern Munich.
DECLAN RICE BRILLIANCE
What a game it was at the Emirates as the gunners ran riot in the second half of the game to earn a famous victory against fifteen times UEFA Champions League winner, Real Madrid. Both teams were equally matched in the first half of the game, with either team coming close to opening the scoring. Eighteen minutes into the second half, it was an incredible free kick from Declan Rice that opened the scoring, with the English curling the ball round the wall into the back of the net. Barely ten minutes later, the England international stepped up again to score an even better free kick, putting it in the top right hand corner, away from the reach of the out stretching Courtois. The gunners night got even better five minutes later when Mikel Merino swept in a first-time curling strike into the bottom corner of the net to score Arsenal's third. It was absolute delirium in the stands, as the London fans went crazy. From their on out, it was one way traffic. The night went from bad to worse for the galaticos as Camavinga saw a second yellow for dissent, and was sent off.
