Arsenal produced a result for the ages as they stunned Real Madrid 3-0 with Declan Rice scored two brilliant free-kicks.

Sam Dean runs the rule over the performances at the Emirates.

Arsenal (4-3-3)
David Raya
Produced a fine stop to deny the onrushing Mbappe before the break. An assured presence who continues to establish himself as one of Europe’s best.
7/10

Jurrien Timber
So aggressive and powerful in duels, he battled through pain and flew into challenges on the right flank. He must be truly horrible to play against.
8/10

William Saliba
Characteristically unruffled on the big stage. Perhaps aided by his knowledge of Mbappe, his international team-mate. Helped Kiwior through the night.
7/10

Jakub Kiwior
A huge occasion in his Arsenal career and his nerves were obvious. Too loose, too often in the first half but grew into the game after the break.
6/10

Myles Lewis-Skelly
Appeared totally at ease on the biggest night of his professional life. The teenager did what he always does, driving forward and holding off opponents.
8/10

Martin Odegaard
Found it difficult to escape the clutches of Camavinga at times, but was still the man through which Arsenal’s attacks flowed. Constantly fed Saka.
7/10

Thomas Partey
Tidy and composed in midfield, helping to start moves from the base of midfield. Booked in the second half but otherwise an excellent and mature showing.
8/10

Declan Rice
What is there to say about those free-kicks? To do it once is extraordinary enough. To do it twice is ludicrous. Relentless, decisive performance.
9/10

Bukayo Saka
By the end of the first half, he knew he had the beating of Madrid’s left side. After that, he was targeted with rough fouls. Limped off.
8/10

Mikel Merino
Works so hard in this unfamiliar role and genuinely seems to be growing into it. Sweeping, accurate finish capped a selfless display.
8/10

Gabriel Martinelli
Locked in a proper battle with Valverde. Won a few, lost a few. His fierce left-footed drive would have beaten most goalkeepers, but not Courtois.
7/10

Real Madrid (4-4-2)
Thibaut Courtois
Produced some fabulous saves in both halves but will not be remembered for those. Totally beaten, twice, by Rice’s outstanding free-kicks.
6/10

Federico Valverde
A player who can do it all, and he certainly held his own when exposed against Martinelli in defensive situations. He offered very little in attack, though.
6/10

Raul Asencio
Overall, he was unable to manage the unusual threat offered by the out-of-position Merino. Madrid’s defence was scrambling at times.
5/10

Antonio Rudiger
Almost gave Arsenal an early lead by smashing the ball against Camavinga, his own team-mate. Looked uneasy when Saka came inside.
5/10

David Alaba
Became increasingly uncomfortable with the realities of marking Saka. Clearance off the line showed his defensive awareness.
5/10

Rodrygo
The least heralded member of Madrid’s attack and he struggled to have any real impact on this match. Hardly had a sniff.
5/10

Luka Modric
Still going at 39, and still playing those clever disguised passes through the lines. But he simply does not have the legs to keep up with Rice.
6/10

Eduardo Camavinga
A big defensive shift in midfield in the first half, but he lost his grip on the game, as evidenced by his late red card
4/10

Jude Bellingham
Shuffled towards the left flank when Madrid. Produced a fabulous pass for Mbappe’s big chance but was largely out of sight in the second half.
6/10

Kylian Mbappe
The speed and sharpness of his movement terrified the Arsenal defence. Everything he does is quick but he faded after the break.
6/10

Vinicius Junior
Has no defensive responsibilities, instead waiting for the ball at the other end. Curled wide in the first half and then could not get into the game after.
5/10
