And if there was some surprise from onlookers as to the nature of this result against one of Europe’s best sides, there was surely no shock as to how Arsenal bookended their scoring against Diego Simeone’s side.

Another inch-perfect free-kick delivery from Declan Rice was headed home by Gabriel Magalhaes to open the scoring before Viktor Gyokeres bundled home Gabriel’s header from a corner to register his second on the night.
