BREAKING NEWS: Declan Rice Names Arsenal’s Best Player Against PSV, Even Better Than Odegaard!
Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice has sparked debate among fans after naming his own standout performer in the Gunners’ impressive victory over PSV. While many praised Martin Ødegaard for his creative brilliance, Rice believes another teammate deserved even more credit.
Following Arsenal’s dominant display against PSV in the Champions League, Rice was full of praise for one of his teammates, stating:
“I’m not trying to discredit Ødegaard’s work, but this guy was our best player yesterday. He deserved all the praise.”
Though Ødegaard played a key role in Arsenal’s attacking movement, Rice highlighted a different player who, in his opinion, had an even bigger impact on the game. His comments contradict those of Mikel Merino and Ødegaard himself, both of whom believed the Norwegian captain was Arsenal’s standout performer.
Rice’s statement has fueled discussions among fans, with many eager to know which player he was referring to. While some speculate it could be Bukayo Saka, given his consistent influence in big matches, others believe Rice was talking about William Saliba or even Gabriel Jesus, who was a constant threat to the PSV defense.
The match saw Arsenal dominate PSV with a commanding performance, securing their spot in the next round of the Champions League. Ødegaard was instrumental in midfield, pulling the strings and dictating play, but Rice’s opinion suggests that another player’s contribution went underappreciated.
Who exactly did Rice mean? Fans are now debating whether his choice was based on defensive stability, attacking brilliance, or overall influence on the game. Regardless, it’s clear that Arsenal’s squad is full of quality, with multiple players capable of putting in match-winning performances.
What do you think? Was Ødegaard truly the best player, or do you agree with Rice’s assessment? Let us know your thoughts!
