Declan Rice scolds Thomas Partey after yellow card, misses PSG clash

Arsenal advanced to the Champions League semi-finals after defeating Real Madrid, with a 2-1 win in the second leg and a 5-1 aggregate score. The match saw Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli score for Arsenal, while Vinícius Júnior equalized briefly for Real Madrid. A notable moment came when Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice showed visible frustration and leadership by reprimanding teammate Thomas Partey, who received a late yellow card for dissent during a clash involving Antonio Rudiger and Dani Ceballos. Partey's booking means he will miss the first leg of the semi-final against Paris Saint-Germain, creating a selection challenge for Arsenal. Rice's actions highlighted his commitment to maintaining team discipline and focus during a high-stakes match. Despite the disciplinary incident, Partey contributed strongly to Arsenal's midfield performance on the night.
