Mikel Arteta hailed Declan Rice’s magical double set-piece strike against Real Madrid and then insisted Arsenal have “a lot more to give” in their historic bid to win the Champions League.

Rice opened the scoring at the Emirates with the first direct free-kick of his career on 58 minutes before landing a second 12 minutes later.
