Arsenal midfielder Bruno Guimaraes has sent his reaction following Declan Rice’s fantastic equaliser against Bayern Munich in the Champions League yesterday.
The Gunners played out a thrilling 2-2 draw at the Allianz Arena last night. Eberechi Eze gave them an early lead, but Alphonso Davies equalised for the hosts before the break.
Harry Kane scored from the penalty spot to put Bayern ahead, but Rice delivered a memorable moment to share the spoils against the reigning Bundesliga champions.
The 27-year-old linked up brilliantly with Noni Madueke and Viktor Gyokeres on the run before unleashing a powerful low shot beyond goalkeeper Manuel Neuer’s reach.
Shortly after the game, Rice expressed his delight on Instagram with the caption: ‘These UCL nights’.
Several Arsenal teammates responded, including Bruno Guimaraes. He commented: ‘So good bro’.

Rice had a fantastic outing against Bayern away from home. The England international won 10 out of 13 duels contested with an aerial success rate of 100 percent (3/3).
The midfielder also registered five recoveries and two clearances. He exhibited a tireless work rate and eventually pushed forward to score a vital equaliser for Arsenal.
Rice and Guimaraes have formed a brilliant midfield partnership this season. The latter has been a splendid signing and has already scored two winning goals from the bench.
Rice, who assisted both of Guimaraes’ goals, has made five goal contributions this campaign. He has looked back at his best after resting during the three-week international break.
Next up, Arsenal host Everton in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
Manager Mikel Arteta will make some changes to the XI, and one of them will be enforced, with Bukayo Saka likely to be ruled out with a quadriceps injury sustained against Bayern.
