Carlo Ancelotti admitted that Declan Rice’s free-kick was the moment everything shifted in Real Madrid’s 3-0 loss to Arsenal in their Champions League quarter-final first leg.

Rice struck twice from set-pieces in just 13 minutes after the break, putting Arsenal firmly in control. Mikel Merino later added a third to cap off a dominant night for the Gunners.

Speaking after the match, Ancelotti acknowledged Arsenal’s superiority and praised their performance.

“Arsenal were clearly the better side,” he said. “The first 60 minutes were balanced, but those two incredible free-kicks changed everything.”

He also admitted his team struggled to recover mentally in the final stretch, saying, “We lost focus and couldn’t bounce back. The last 30 minutes were tough.”
