Arsenal have advanced to the Champions League semi-final for the third time in club history with a 2-1 victory over Real Madrid at the Bernabeu, winning 5-1 on aggregate.
Having won the first leg 3-0, Arsenal increased their advantage in the 65th minute with a lovely chipped goal from Bukayo Saka, but Madrid cancelled that strike just two minutes later as Vinicius Junior caught William Saliba napping.
A goal in second-half stoppage time from Gabriel Martinelli put the result beyond any doubt.
In a frenetic first half, Saka saw a Panenka penalty saved by Thibaut Courtois while VAR intervened at the other end to deny Real Madrid a spot kick of their own.
Myles Lewis-Skelly, all 18 years of him, joined Rice for that on-field interview with TNT Sports and he was asked what it was like to walk out at the Bernabeu for the first time in his young career.
“It was incredible. When you see it on TV, it’s a lot different to when you come here! When I first walked out, it was a lot but you’ve just got to take in the moment and have fun.
“The fans didn’t make it easy for us but we knew it was going to be like this. As long as we stuck together and kept backing each other, (we knew) we’d be fine.”
