Ex-Nigeria senate president present at Emirates as Arsenal beat Real Madrid in UCL quarterfinal final

Real Madrid conceded three goals to the Gunners in the first leg of the quarterfinal at the Emirates, leaving them at a disadvantage heading for the second leg.

The Gunners defeated the Spanish giants at the Emirates with two free-kick goals from Declan Rice and another from Mikel Merino.

Declan Rice's dominant midfield performance against Real Madrid earned him the Man of the Match award.

Bukola Saraki was live at the Emirates Stadium as he watched Arsenal thump Real Madrid 3-0 on Tuesday night.

The former senate president posted on his X account, “Thrilled to be here at the Emirates Stadium tonight for the Champions League quarterfinal, Arsenal vs Real Madrid! Let's go, Gunners! #COYG #ARSRMA #UCL.”

Former Senate President Bukola Saraki was present to witness Rice's impressive achievement of scoring two remarkable goals.

Declan Rice set a new record by becoming the first player to score two free kicks in a Champions League quarter-final match against Real Madrid. 

The Gunners' last successful free kick was against Burnley in September 2021, ending a long goal drought with Rice's free kick.

Next Wednesday, Santiago Bernabéu will host the second leg of the tie, with the Gunners currently leading 3-0.
