ucl arsenal surprised us ive not seen rice score freekicks before bellingham admits

Real Madrid star, Jude Bellingham, has admitted he was surprised by Declan Rices free-kicks in the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals a week ago.

The Gunners stunned their Spanish visitors with a 3-0 scoreline at the Emirates Stadium, going into the second leg with heads held high.

Prior to the game last week, there was no record of Declan Rice scoring from a freekick. But the England midfielder opened the scoring by bending a free kick around the wall in the 58th minute.

He scored another one 12 minutes later, lifling it into the top corner to the shock of many, even his own fans.

Bellingham, Rices national teammate, told the press ahead of the second leg that he was shocked.
