Arsenal star Declan Rice appeared in a press conference following the 2-0 victory over Leverkusen in the second leg of the Champions League Round of 16 at the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal qualified for the quarter-finals after this victory, noting that the first leg had ended in a 1-1 draw.

The player said, "I am completely exhausted, it never stops. We are still competing in all tournaments, so we've been facing tough matches every three days since October. We are doing our best to cope with it, but it's difficult."

He added, "We always find ways to win, and everything is fine. Everyone asks me where I get my energy from. Simply, I get a second wind."

Regarding his goal: "I advanced in front of the Leverkusen player, my first touch set everything up for me, there was nowhere else to go, so I launched with all my strength. You find within yourself the power to keep fighting, make tackles, and win."

He concluded about Eberechi Eze: "I haven't seen many players who strike the ball like him. We need to give him more opportunities."
