Arsenal reaction

Declan Rice

It’s an historic night for this club. We have an objective in this competition – we want to play the best teams and win this competition. There was a lot of talk about them coming back because they’ve done it so many times before, but we had a belief and confidence that we’d win the game. We had it in our mind, and we did it in real life. What a night for the club.

Before I came to the club I sensed we were on an upward trajectory. It’s been tough in the Premier League – we lost out by a point last year and this year it’s slipped away for us – but in this competition we’ve done amazingly well. We have full trust in this manager; he’s unbelievable. The semi-finals is massive for us. We just want to take tonight in, then it’s PSG who are an amazing team.

[On the non-penalty] I knew it wasn’t a pen. Look, I had my arm on him but you have to do that in the box. I’m an honest guy. I was really confident it would be overturned.

When you see [the Bernabeu] on TV it’s a lot different to when you come live. It was incredible. When I first walked out, it’s a lot you know, but I just tried to take in the moment and have fun.

The fans here don’t make it easy for you but we knew if we stuck together we’d be fine.
