00:00There's nothing they can do about it now.
00:05There's plenty they can do during the game.
00:07Change it, whatever you do.
00:09It is a big night.
00:11You want your big players to turn up and perform.
00:14Very important.
00:16It's not going to scare you though, is it?
00:18Which?
00:19Top three.
00:21Modric is on the cusp.
00:25In at left back with Mendy injured, taking the early throw for Real Madrid,
00:30which was misjudged quite badly actually by Jakub Kivior.
00:34It's a comfortable save.
00:37So Saka, with Arsenal corner 2.0 into the near post this time,
00:45and into a run by a desire to show attacking flair.
00:50Certainly that's been the trademark of both clubs of course,
00:54as they come with Martinelli, Arsenal.
00:57Martinelli to the byline.
00:59And it just might fall for Mikel Moreno.
01:01Partey shot in Courtois.
01:04It was straight down the middle from Thomas Partey,
01:07and Thibaut Courtois was straight behind it.
01:10Great football.
01:11Really good stuff.
01:12Martinelli doing exactly the right thing on that left side.
01:14Getting out.
01:15Where the ball is going is a factor, as you say.
01:18Where the arm is being held is a factor.
01:21And they have decided it's not Hamburg.
01:28They'd love to take a lead to Madrid, but they don't necessarily have to.
01:33Here's Jude Bellingham.
01:34That's a lovely ball.
01:35This is dangerous.
01:36Mbappe!
01:37David Ryan makes the save.
01:40Great run.
01:42Mbappe there.
01:43And he is so quick.
01:44Nobody is going to get anywhere near him.
01:48As fast as William Saliba is.
01:50He's not going to catch him.
01:52It was just that I think we all thought he would aim that one outside of the far post.
01:57And try and bring it back in as it was.
01:59It was a comfortable stop in the end for David Ryan.
02:02Louis Skelly thought there might be a gap.
02:05He still thinks there might be a gap.
02:06Part eight for Timber.
02:10Rice in the middle.
02:12Great save.
02:13And Martinelli's follow up in save two.
02:16Thibaut Courtois.
02:17From the goalkeeper.
02:18From the goalkeeper.
02:19It's a brilliant ball in and that head up.
02:22It's difficult because it bounces in front of the goal and he's got to pick it up.
02:26He's got to absolutely make sure he gets that right with one hand.
02:28Now look at him.
02:29Back up on his feet again.
02:31To make sure he's there to deny Martinelli.
02:34Great football.
02:35Great football all round.
02:40Shot is wayward.
02:43I think we've got a great second half to look forward to.
02:45I really do.
02:47Well, the referee blows his whistle.
02:50It's goalless, but it's been absolutely fascinating.
02:53And a game of the...
03:00So, defending the clock end.
03:02Arsenal get the second period underway.
03:10Only three in the wall.
03:11Rice goes round it!
03:12That is absolutely brilliant.
03:13Jekyll and Rice breaks the deadlock with a fabulous free kick.
03:29Arsenal lead Real Madrid by a goal to nil.
03:33And it is a wonderful goal.
03:37Oh, what a hit.
03:39I said it's got to be something special to be Courtois from there.
03:44And that's exactly what Declan Rice has just served up.
03:47That was special.
03:50Incredible hit.
03:51I think everybody wondering how that one beats him.
03:54Let's have a look from this angle.
03:56Oh, it's a stunner.
03:58It's an absolute stunner because it goes round the wall and comes back in.
04:02He could not have hit that any better.
04:05Even if there was another person on the end of the wall next to Valverde,
04:08it would have still ended up in the back of the net.
04:11Quite of that standard.
04:12But my goodness me.
04:14Here comes the Real Madrid corner kit.
04:17Flicked on by...
04:18Into the dobs of Davy Dry.
04:21Kivyo.
04:22Nicely done, Luis Skelly.
04:28And still.
04:29And Martinelli.
04:31And surely what a save.
04:33Marino denied.
04:34And again, unbelievable.
04:36Wow.
04:37Incredible goalkeeping by Thibaut Courtois.
04:41You won't see too many better saves than these.
04:44Astonishing work again from the goalkeeper.
04:47Brilliant effort initially.
04:49Fabulous work from Alaba to get back on the line.
04:52This strike from Martinelli is a good one.
04:53That one's parried away with two hands.
04:56David Alaba, number four.
04:57Watch him get him back as the goalkeeper tries to recover
05:01to make sure he knocks that one away.
05:02I mean, that's brilliant defending, that is.
05:05And the final one, the goal is back up on his feet again
05:08to make sure he...
05:13This second half has belonged to Arsenal.
05:15In goes the corner kick.
05:16Courtois comes.
05:17Got a punch on it.
05:18Declan Rice back in.
05:19And away again.
05:20From almost on the goal line by Bellingham.
05:23It's a painful one.
05:26That was the strike from Declan Rice that again,
05:28it was Bellingham this time back on the line.
05:32No genuine power in that one, but even so.
05:37Four in the wall again.
05:38Two red and white shirts on the end of it.
05:40Who's it going to be?
05:42Who's it going to be?
05:44Rice or Odegaard?
05:46It's Rice again!
05:50My goodness!
05:55Incredible!
05:57This is Declan Rice's night.
06:00Arsenal two.
06:01Real Madrid nil.
06:03Two unbelievable free kicks from Declan Rice.
06:10And Arsenal now are in the quarter-final box seat
06:16because they lead by two.
06:18Oh!
06:21Well that is better than the first.
06:27An absolutely incredible strike.
06:33Oh my word!
06:34Is it the side netting?
06:37Right in the top corner.
06:38Absolutely unbelievable work from Declan Rice.
06:44He might.
06:46I found Trossard.
06:49Lewis Skelly.
06:51It's three!
06:53It's McElmerino!
06:58Arsenal have scored three times in 17 minutes against Real Madrid.
07:05Nice run that.
07:06He just got away from him.
07:07A little bit right at the end there.
07:08Killing Mbappe.
07:09It was a good run.
07:12Leandro Trossard has been fouled.
07:16And Camavinga has got a second yellow card.
07:21Saliba's head aparte.
07:25In this competition against this football club,
07:29that is just about as good as it will ever get.
