Listen "Rice Rice, Baby!"
Episode Synopsis
In what was the shock of the Champions League quarter-finals, Arsenal delivered a commanding 3-0 first-leg victory over Real Madrid at the Emirates. Midfielder Declan Rice was the standout performer, scoring two exceptional direct free-kicks —his first-ever in professional football. This also made him the first player in tounament's history to score multiple direct free-kicks in a knockout stage game. Is it all over for Carlo Ancelotti's Real Madrid or will we see 'dark art' from the Madristas come the second leg? Elsewhere, Bayern Munich lost at home to Inter Milan courtesy of a late goal from Davide Frattesi, FC Barcelona destroyed Borussia Dortmund 4-0, while PSG heads to England with a 3-1 lead over Aston Villa. All that plus PL action, on this week's Just For Kicks.
