‘I have hit the wall too many times’: Declan Rice on free kick glory More on Tribuna.com: https://tribuna.com/en/news/2025-04-08-asencio-we-are-totally-convinced-we-can-do-a-comeback-if-theres-any-team-that-can-do-it-i/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=zhoc&utm_campaign=afcen?utm_source=copy
Declan Rice’s outstanding display in Arsenal’s 3-0 victory over Real Madrid has caused a stir across the football community, though for the midfielder, it’s still a moment he’s processing.
Rice’s two stunning free kicks not only left the Real Madrid defense in shock but also marked a personal achievement for the English international.
“I have hit the wall too many times or it’s gone over the bar,” Rice shared, reflecting on the challenges he faced in perfecting his free-kick technique.
His words hinted at the trials and persistence that have been key in his evolution into a set-piece expert.
Rice’s defining moment came in dramatic fashion when he bent two consecutive shots past the Real Madrid goalkeeper.
His choice to aim for the goal instead of delivering a cross was influenced by the goalkeeper’s positioning.
“I was originally going to cross it, but I saw the goalkeeper’s position and I just hit it,” he explained.
