In a first half tense at the Emirates stadium against Real Madrid, the two goalkeepers were called to make big stops in the only chances of the first half.
David Raya obtained his body behind Kylian Mbappe's shot after the Frenchman crossed head-to-head and, at the dawn of half-time, Thibaut Courtois plunged to his right and pushed the Gray Head of Declan Rice, before keeping the rebound of Gabriel Martinelli too.
Then Rice – who had never marked a free kick in his senior career – Wallope around the wall of three men, low and in the area before the hour bar.
After two other brilliant courteous courtes, miraculously, Rice repeated the trick. On the left side of the center this time, he beautifully chose the upper right corner. Courtois had no chance.
With Real Madrid still shocked by this double of frank rice, Arsenal capitalized with their third goal in 17 minutes to do so 3-0.
Myles Lewis-Skelly crossed it through the box and it was a soft strike for the first time of the auxiliary striker Mikel Merino with his left foot in the lower corner.
