"Shortly before the goal that left Arsenal's supremacy in no doubt, Harry Kane embarked upon a lonely jaunt up their left flank. Much like the majority of Bayern Munich's attacking endeavours, it ended almost as soon as it had begun. In common with a sizeable percentage it was terminated by Declan Rice, who thundered in and took the ball cleanly with a hooked right foot to a cheer that rivalled the night's loudest."
"The Emirates Stadium crowd was always going to enjoy that one, as Rice knew full well. He responded in kind with a roar and an exhortation to the gallery, perhaps to his teammates too: keep it going, crank up that volume, let's see this thing through. Rice is the best player in Europe right now and, with that, there are standards to drive."
Shortly before Arsenal's decisive goal, Harry Kane advanced alone down Arsenal's left flank and Bayern Munich's attack ended quickly. Declan Rice intercepted with a hooked right foot and celebrated to a roaring Emirates crowd. Rice urged teammates and supporters to maintain intensity. Arsenal then scored a composed goal from Gabriel Martinelli to secure a 3-1 victory, which seemed to lift a weight and shift trajectory. Rice is described as the best player in Europe and Arsenal as the continent's supreme team. Both clubs had already qualified for the Champions League last 16, but this result reinforced Arsenal's status as overwhelming Premier League favourites.
