Back in the number six role, Declan Rice did not let the change in position alter his ability as he put in a good performance against Monaco.

The midfielder played his part in attack as he drove forward with the ball on a number of occasions. He made one notable run in the first half when he skipped past several Monaco players before being forced to play back to his defence.

Rice played 54 accurate passes out of an attempted 57, giving him a pass accuracy of 95%. He battled well in the midfield, winning one tackle and two duels throughout his time on the pitch. The England international was withdrawn just after the hour mark having put in a standout performance.
