Let’s forget about my first goal in the UCL; I’m delighted Arteta decided to drop him tonight since that’s the reason we won so comfortably.Declan Rice, a top player for Arsenal, feels strongly that his teammate Mikel Arteta, who is worth £16 million, should be removed from the starting lineup if Arsenal is serious about maintaining their current level of comfortably winning games.



After Arsenal’s comfortable victory over Dinamo Zagreb, Declan Rice urged the team to carry on with their consistent play: “We must continue to be victorious.”


Wednesday was another eventful day for Arsenal, as the Gunners continued their frantic January by claiming a 3-0 victory over Dinamo Zagreb at the Emirates Stadium.

As a result of the victory, the Gunners were able to move up to third position in the league phase of the Champions League before the last matchday of the round. This victory effectively ensured that the North London club would proceed to the next round.

Arsenal’s seventh encounter of the month so far, it comes only a few days after the Gunners’ disappointing Premier League stalemate with Aston Villa, in which they blew a two-goal lead. This match was Arsenal’s seventh match of the month.

Declan Rice, a midfielder, referred to the outcome that occurred on Wednesday as “an important win.” He expressed his hope that his side would be able to carry the momentum of what he describes as “a very positive Champions League campaign” into their matches that take place in their home country.

“What I learnt from last year is that you need to be there or thereabouts at this time of the season, and we are at the moment,” Rice said in an interview with TNT Sports on Arsenal’s pursuit for the league title.

“Come on, we have to keep winning games,” she said. I believe that the game that we played over the weekend, where we were 2-0 up against Aston Villa and where we ended up drawing 2-2, is a genuine kick in the teeth. We ought to be seeing it out, but to come back tonight and win is a fantastic thing, and now we are going to play Wolves on the weekend.

“It has been a challenging month, but we will get through this and move on to the next one.”

Two of Arsenal’s centre midfielders were able to find the back of the net, as both Rice and Odegaard were able to have shots on goal.

In the midst of speculation that the Gunners are aiming to strengthen their attack before the transfer window closes in January, Rice has disclosed what Mikel Arteta has stated regarding the notion of distributing the goals among the players.

He continued by saying, “Yes, it is so important, the manager has been really hard on us about midfielders arriving because so many goals can come from there, and it is up to us to make up that extra five or ten yards.”

“Martin obviously did it right at the end of the game, and I did it for the header, so we need to keep arriving there, but everyone is contributing,” the coach said.

Let’s face it: tonight’s victory was a significant one. We have one more Champions League match left to play, and we are hoping that we will be able to win it as well. This has been a very successful Champions League season.
