Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice has ensured that the 1-0 defeat in Porto won’t bring the mood down within the camp with the Gunners facing a tough task overturning the deficit in the second leg on March 12.
-TIMESTAMPS-
00:00 – Intro.
00:07 – Steep learning curve?: I think the last minute is probably a learning curve. We give a ball away twice and he bends it top bins. It’s half-time, we’ll be ready.
00:43 – Doesn’t carry on into the Premier League?: I’ve seen the changing room, there’s a positivity. We need to take the positives and learn from it.
01:13 – Learn from this?: Definitely, you look at Pepe, the experience he’s got. We’re learning on the job. Second leg we’ll be ready to go.
01:41 – Inexperience?: There weren’t nerves for me, but it’s good to have them. You get that experience. It’s going to make us better.
02:13 – Changing approach?: Not every game is going to be fives or sixes. We’re really positive still.
02:44 – Tie still alive: I see leaders that drive this team on. It’s about Saturday now.
03:20 – Stop start nature of game: Teams are different, the refs are different, you can’t get away with much.
03:44 – Boggy pitch?: Quite the opposite. The ball was moving really fast.

Can Arsenal come back from this defeat in the second leg at the Emirates?
future GOAT
You can tell he's already preparing for the return leg 😂😂 gotta love him. This young group of experienced player are still learning from experience. Credit Mikel & his coaching staff, we must turn it around at a noisy Emirates stadium 🏟️
"LiKe i said in the second leg we will be ready "😮 thats all i needed to be convinced
aint no proper background screens in porto, banter champions league
Does Martinelli get credited with an assist for Portos goal?
Asking for a friend
The midfield needs a lot of attention in 2nd leg game.
Rice seems like a really decent guy
Which number does this guy play?
I hope Martinelli got the hairdryer from Arteta for that stupid pass in the last minute, either hold it or ship it next time.
Wwwww
This man is THE captain.
Declan Rice is absolutely 💯 right ✅️
Bottlenal
it was a good game, see you at the Emirates next! COYG 🔴⚪️
Such a class act. True professional.
Great positivity and an honest assessment of the game from a natural leader.
The reporter egging him on and trying to get a reaction is pathetic. “You think it was a down to inexperience?”
The same thing happened with Lens away but we won the second tie at home. Partey and a few others should be back and even if not the starting ix will be more than enough to win. If you’ve followed this team this year, you know many are over blowing this game.
Diving and fake fouls Porto were cheats. How do you play against cheats.
I love him
Arteta purposely made his team played passively so that he can replay the video and make an analysis on how to beat Porto at the Emirates.. 😂😂😂
Jorginho has to start, his ucl experience needs to be utilized with either havertz or trosaard upfront
Well done to Rice for coming out and answering questions. World class player and a better speaker by country miles compared to almost all elite footballers.
I am not after what I just watched
Very lucky to have him in Arsenal❤
Slow wingers can't break a mid block, not rocket science
Future skipper , Potentially cut from Tony Adams and Vieira’s cloth .
Half time. Make them pay at the emirates
We the Arsenal r experienced in the champions league so what is this man reporting on what and asking rice
Is that Tubes interviewing Rice lol
Ignorant question stating the pitch was a bit slower. Porto just replaced the turf this past summer with exactly the same turf as Real Madrid. Porto along with most top clubs will always spray the field just prior to the game so the pitch is faster. Trying to come up with excuses for Arsenal’s loss is not going to help them. They got schooled by an experienced team/coach. They will be better prepared and more efficient in the second leg.
