Top 10 Greatest Goals in Football History
From Lionel Messi's spectacular against Getafe in 2007 to Diego Maradona's stunner against England in 1986, these are the top 10 greatest goals in football history.
“I have always said Rice has the potential to be the great English midfielder of his generation, and he showed why,” Carragher wrote.
“He does not play in the same attacking midfield position as Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard in their prime. To me, Rice has always been more of a Roy Keane, who scored 57 across his 473 senior club games.
“If Arsenal go through, Rice’s contribution over both legs will rightly be as revered by his supporters as much as Keane’s for United against Juventus in 1999.”
Declan Rice surprised with his performance
)
Aside from fans and football legends being surprised, Declan Rice also admitted that he never expected to produce such a world-class display against Real Madrid.
In all his football matches as a professional, Declan Rice had never scored a direct free-kick, and then he managed to achieve the record in 12 minutes.
“I don't know if it will ever sink in. My phone has gone crazy. To score the first and second, I fancied both and to have the confidence... I am a bit speechless, it is a nice bit of history to beat Madrid,” Declan Rice said as quoted by the Daily Mail.

Benni McCarthy Opens Up on Evolving Relationship with Jose Mourinho After Becoming Harambee Stars Coach
Harambee Stars coach Benni McCarthy and Jose Mourinho have a shared history from their days at FC Porto.
“The manager just said, with the individual quality they have, it is scary and special things happen at the Bernabeu. We are not going to defend, we are going to attack and we want to be in the semis. No messages from David Beckham, I'm not lucky enough to have his number. But I am so happy.”
His stunning brace against Real Madrid not only silenced his critics but also solidified his place among England’s rising midfield greats, and as Arsenal heads into the decisive second leg on Thursday, April 17, all eyes will be on him to deliver yet another masterclass.
