After playing a starring role against Real Madrid, Declan Rice has been nominated for the UEFA Champions League Player of the Week award once again, having won the accolade last week.
Our midfield maestro ran the show at Santiago Bernabeu, commanding the midfield with another huge performance that saw us come away from the Spanish capital with a 2-1 victory to win the tie 5-1 on aggregate, reaching the semi-finals against PSG.
It was deja-vu at full time as Rice was once again presented with the Player of the Match trophy, having played 89 minutes, covered just shy of 12km and had a passing accuracy of 97%.
This week he’s up against Serhou Guirassy of Borussia Dortmund), PSG's Ousmane Dembele and Lautaro Martinez of Inter Milan for their performances in the quarter-final second legs.
