3 standout players from Arsenal's hard-fought defeat to PSG

2. Declan Rice

Like Saka, Declan Rice had a tough time in the first leg, but having returned to a more advanced role in midfield, he was the source of constant energy and brilliance for his side.

The England international went so close to levelling the tie just minutes in when he rose well to meet Jurrien Timber's cross, only to head it the wrong side of the post. He didn't let that stop him from causing problems though as he made constant runs forward with plenty of drive to help his team get up the pitch and attack.

He covered plenty of ground throughout and made sure to help out in defence also. PSG had a chance to make it two moments after their first goal, but Rice made a brilliant recovery run over practically the length of the pitch to slide in and take the ball off the feet of the shooting Bradley Barcola.

Rice will be so disappointed that he couldn't help his team reach the final of the Champions League, but he can still be immensely proud after putting in what was a standout performance in the capital of France.
