Arsenal must destroy a 1-0 deficit if they go to Paris Saint Germain for the second stage of their semi-final of the Champions League
Declan Rice promised that Arsenal can deliver more “magical moments” to overcome Paris Saint Germain and reach the Champions League final. Gunners -midfielder Rice hit two sensational free kicks to help see Real Madrid in the final round and he is convinced that they can beat the opportunities again.
They have to come from behind to beat PSG, but Rice revealed that Mikel Arteta gave an exciting team conversation where all players believe they can do it. Rice said: “I think the manager calls them magical moments. He always talks about having someone who delivers a magical moment.
“I think that in that match against Madrid I could of course produce two free kicks that were incredible. But tomorrow night a semi -final was set up for someone else to get that magical moment.
“Hopefully I will be the weather, but you need a moment of magic to win a game, and as a team we will need it. So tomorrow evening we can hopefully deliver something special.”
Gunners -Baas Arteta also stated that if Arsenal can beat PSG and go all the way to the final, this would be the biggest night in the history of the club. Arsenal was defeated in Paris in their only earlier final performance of the Champions League in 2006 when they lost to Barcelona, ​​but former PSG star Arteta is convinced that they can go better.
Arteta said: “Yes, it will give us a different chance and football brings you to places like Paris that are sometimes so related. It's a wonderful story, so let's make it of us tomorrow. You will be remembered for those moments.
“The biggest stage is when the team needs it, when the club needs it, to deliver those moments. I play with that mentality. In my opinion, this kind of game is the right one and that is the work we have done in the past hours.
“We are a victory of being in the Champions League final and in the most beautiful city in the world. Against a big opponent, it is not much better than that. We are here to make history, we have a good chance tomorrow.
“We bring a result that gives us so much clarity about what we have to do. Learning a lot from the first stage and how small the margins are between the two teams.
“In my opinion, the result should have been very different from that. So tomorrow another chance to prove that and the right to be in the final. If we win tomorrow, it would be the biggest night in the club's history.”
