The Gunners will face either PSG or Bayern Munich in the final in Budapest as they look to win the competition for the first time in their history.
Declan Rice takes swipe at Chelsea
Rice was named man of the match, and in his post match interview he took a swipe at Chelsea for not giving him a chance.
“That club gave me everything, without West Ham there’s no me,” he told Prime Video.
“I honestly believe that. They gave me a chance when Chelsea didn’t. A lot of people there really pushed me on so it’s not nice to see the position they’re in.”
Rice was in the Chelsea academy as a youngster, but was let go by the Blues and they did try on a number of occasions to bring him back from West Ham.
It obviously now looks like a big mistake from Chelsea, and it will certainly be one they will be keen to avoid in the future with other players.
