Declan Rice has been included in the UEFA Champions League Team of the Season for his stunning displays in Europe.
Our midfield maestro impressed the UEFA Technical Observer Group with his outstanding performances, most notably with two incredible free-kicks in our 3-0 win at home to Real Madrid in the first leg of the quarter-finals.
He played 90 minutes in seven of our 13 Champions League fixtures and started all but one of those games.
Rice also provided an assist for Gabriel in our 5-1 win away to Sporting CP, scored in our 1-0 win at home to Dinamo Zagreb, and had further goal involvements over two legs of our round of 16 success against PSV Eindhoven.
