Declan Rice stole the show for Arsenal last night with two stunning free-kicks in a famous 3-0 win over Real Madrid.
However, there were heroes for Arsenal in pretty much every position, and another player who really stepped up in this big game was 18-year-old left-back Myles Lewis-Skelly.
The Gunners wonderkid only made his debut for the club earlier this season, but has quickly established himself as a key player for Mikel Arteta’s side.
Lewis-Skelly has also already worked his way into the England squad, and scored on his debut for the national team last month.
It’s been a season to remember for Lewis-Skelly, and he put in another absolutely superb performance last night against arguably the best club side in the world.

The teenager won 100% of his tackles, completed 100% of his dribbles, had two key passes and one assist to top it all off as he set up Mikel Merino for the third goal of the evening.
But it’s about more than just numbers with Lewis-Skelly, who is also just a joy to watch with the way he carries the ball with such confidence.
And for one so young, he plays with a remarkable composure and always seems to get his decision-making spot on.
Arsenal fans will be delighted that their academy can produce such a fantastic player who’s already so important to the senior side.
It will be interesting to see how Lewis-Skelly and the others can perform when they take on Real Madrid in what will surely be an entirely different challenge for the second leg at the Bernabeu next week.
