Declan Rice has been named the UEFA Champions League Player of the Week following his two stunning free-kicks against Real Madrid.
Our number 41 put us ahead in north London when he curled the dead ball past Thibaut Courtois in the 58th minute, before netting his brace with a postage-stamp finish from further out.
That means our midfielder became the first player in Champions League history to score two direct free-kick goals in a knockout stage match, while it was just the fifth time overall a player had scored more than one in the same game, joining an exclusive club that contains Cristiano Ronaldo, Hakim Ziyech, Neymar and Rivaldo.
He has now scored four goals in our last three home Champions League matches, taking his tally up to seven for the campaign, matching last season's output.
Voted for by supporters, Declan beat Khvicha Kvaratskhelia of Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona's Robert Lewandowski and Alessandro Bastoni of Bayern Munich to the award.
The accolades don’t stop there though, as Rice, Jurrien Timber and William Saliba were all named in the Champions League Team of the Week after their starring roles against Madrid.
