He floated like an air of “Puskas Prix” on Tuesday evening on the lawn of the Emirates Stadium. Not necessarily the most fringent during the first forty-five minutes in front of a Real Madrid positioned as a low block and capable of some bullying against, the Gunners put their evening outfit on the return from the locker room by registering three pawns on the edge of the sublime.
With Declan Rice as master costumen, author of two truly extraordinary free kicks, followed a few moments later by Mikel Merino and his goal as a surface attacker, him the midfielder of formation, we are this morning annoyed when saying which of these three wonders made us most stuck in the sofa. But as in life you have to make choices, we will not cut it. Here, in our opinion, here is the winner winning in order according to.
“Are you kidding me?” », Or the ultimate free kick of Rice
By positioning the ball 25 meters from the goal of Thibaut Courtois for the second time of the evening, just a few minutes after having already put the Belgian goalkeeper on his knees for the first time, Declan Rice had the best for the end. And the best is this ultimate shot, combining Maboule power (103 km/h) and surgical precision, to catapult this open side ball – which is very rare in this kind of case – in the skylight of a courteous yet with an exceptional lengthening on its line.
We can always say that the Madrid wall had the air of Swiss Gruyère, the truth is that even with a wall of ten NBA size players, no one could have done anything in front of such a remote -controlled scud. And to see the reaction of his teammates, hands on his head, as struck by this cannon stroke, we say that this first place is not stolen.
The “Roberto Carlos inverted”
A ball that takes the direction of the corner post before completely plunging back to the goal, all that to subtly avoid the wall in its path, does that not remind you of something? The youngest of us may not have had the ref, but the old loubards that we are necessarily seen as An Air by Roberto Carlosone evening in June 1997, during France-Brazil at the Gerland stadium. If that of the Brazilian (present in the stands on Tuesday evening) will remain the reference in the matter, exterior of the foot obliges, that of Declan Rice, party at 97 km/h, from the interior of the right foot, halfway up, to crucify courteous, amply deserves second place in the classification.
Merino, the purity of the rush attacker's gesture
It is a goal in the game, a shot of mad purity in the middle of an English and Spanish leg forest, and just for that it would probably have deserved a better place in our classification of the day, but Mikel Merino will understand that for the whole of his (chief of) work, Declan Rice deserved the hand of the top of the charts. This does not detract from the beauty of this third Pion of the Gunners, on the contrary.
By completing the success of Arsenal and the shipwreck of Real, this Merino stronghold, interior left foot at the flush of the courteous post after having taken the small step back that it too had, has also illuminated the faces of London fans and definitively changed this spring evening in the sublime.
