It was a night and a result that Arsenal fans would have scarcely believed was possible. In front of its adoring crowd, the North London club took a huge step towards the Champions League semifinal by beating Spanish juggernaut Real Madrid 3-0 in its quarterfinal first-leg.

The England international scored two stunning free kicks in the second half to put his side firmly in control of the tie. The first of Rice’s heroic efforts came in the 58th minute, with the 26-year-old breaking the deadlock with a shot that whipped around the Real Madrid wall into the corner of the net. The stadium erupted as Arsenal’s players celebrated the astonishing goal, only for lightning to strike twice just 12 minutes later.
