Mohammed Bajaber given Harambee Stars warning after dream debut under Benni McCarthy
Mohammed Bajaber has become a cult hero after his starring role for Harambee Stars in March and he has been told what he must do to remain in the plans of coach Benni McCarthy.
Rice, 26, found the top right corner with his first free-kick just outside the 18-yard-box in the 58th minute before grabbing his brace 12 minutes later to give Arsenal a deserved 2-0 cushion.
Former Newcastle man, Merino, completed the rout in the 75th minute as a star-studded Real Madrid side looked stunned. Rice was seen conversing with both Odegaard and Saka, with the discussion centered around how the free-kick was to be taken.

Manchester United legend Andy Cole tips Benni McCarthy to take Harambee Stars to next level
Andy Cole, who travelled to Kenya over the weekend, has explained why he believes South African tactician Benni McCarthy will succeed as Harambee Stars coach.
Rice, the former Chelsea academy player, told the Daily Mail. "I don’t know if it will ever sink in. I fancied both (free-kicks) and to have the confidence, I am a bit speechless.‘It’s one of those moments, the best feeling in the world."
On the first free-kick, he said: "Martin (Odegaard) was saying to cross, I said it doesn’t make sense and to chip it like that. We practice them all the time, (set-piece coach Nicolas) Jover is telling me to cross and it didn’t make sense. Bukayo (Saka) said, “If you feel it, go for it”. I looked at the wall and keeper and said I could bend it and that’s what happened."
Rice had not previously scored from a direct free-kick in his career spanning nearly 350 appearances.
