Manchester United and England legend Wayne Rooney has credited Arsenal fans for the role they played in their team’s 3-0 win against Champions League holders Real Madrid.
In the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals at the Emirates on Tuesday night, Arsenal hammered Madrid 3-0.
Two stunning free-kicks by Declan Rice and another lovely finish by Mikel Merino sealed the stunning win.
Rice made history as he is now the first player to score two direct free-kicks in the knockout round of the Champions League.
Despite the impressive performance of the players, Rooney reserved praise for the club fans.
“Arsenal were excellent tonight. I think you have to give the crowd a lot of credit, I thought the atmosphere was fantastic, the crowd really pushed the team,” Rooney told Amazon.
“It could have been more, it could have been five or six!”
