However, he still found time out from the jubilation to speak to the media and in doing so, a delighted Rice admitted the dressing room was quite something.
“Yeah, it’s chaos,” Rice revealed on Amazon Prime.
“I don’t think you can underestimate what we’ve done in this competition up to this point. And I think we had every right to celebrate that moment. It’s such a big moment. Champions League final, the most prestigious tournament in club football.
“So yeah, it’s a proud moment for the boys, for the club. And yeah, we’re just trying to soak it all in.”
Declan Rice has a chance to cement his Arsenal legacy already
When Rice joined Arsenal for around £100m, so many people questioned whether the money was well spent.
Well, now, it looks like being a bargain, if that’s possible.
As it stands, Rice has the chance to lead Arsenal to two trophies and in doing so, he’ll have been the driving force all season behind it.
If he and Arsenal do it, then Rice’s place in Arsenal history will already be sealed.
And with it, he might just seal the player of the year award as well.
