In front of its adoring crowd, the North London club took a huge step towards the Champions League semifinal by beating Spanish juggernaut Real Madrid 3-0 in its quarterfinal first-leg. But amid the frenzied scenes inside the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday, the story of the night belonged to one man; Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice.

Courtois has missed four of Madrid’s last six matches across all competitions including Saturday's La Liga defeat at home to Valencia.

This was Arsenal's finest hour in Champions League history, such that it's hard to believe even Real Madrid can wage a comeback in the quarterfinal's return leg.
