<p>Rice claimed his side must have "big balls" as they attempt to overturn the first-leg result and qualify for the Champions League final in Munich. The Gunners <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/arsenal-player-ratings-vs-psg-martin-odegaard-declan-rice-champions-league-semi-final-first-leg/blt398374ae05affede" target="_blank">trail PSG by one goal after last week's defeat</a> at the Emirates Stadium.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Rice told a press conference on Tuesday: "We need to have big balls and we need to go out there on the biggest stage and show that we’re ready to play at this level. The manager calls them magic moments. He always talks about having someone delivering a magic moment. Tomorrow night, hopefully we can deliver something special."</p>

WHAT RICE SAID

<p>Rice was the hero in the quarter-final against Real Madrid when <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/jude-bellingham-shock-declan-rice-free-kicks-real-madrid-remontada-arsenal/blt4dcaa398cfa25a62" target="_blank">he scored two stunning first-leg free-kicks to set up his side's 5-1 aggregate victory</a>. He added that "a semi-final is set up for someone else to maybe get that magic moment".</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Rice will almost certainly start in the second leg against PSG, before the Gunners go to Anfield to take on Liverpool in the Premier League on Sunday, where they will <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/absolutely-spineless-decision-arsenal-fans-liverpool-guard-honour-anfield/bltc08be9ba3836988f" target="_blank">give the champions a guard of honour</a>.</p>
