- Told a reporter had watched his two free kicks against Real Madrid about a hundred times, Rice said he probably had too. He is not sure he will ever do that again.
- Asked how much more is to come from him, Rice said so much more. Arsenal's next step is to win trophies, and he feels they will start coming once they win the first one.
- Asked how the captain has led off the pitch this season, Rice said he has the full respect of the dressing room. Everyone has dips in form, and Rice is sure the captain will deliver tomorrow.
- Asked about Wayne Rooney's suggestion that Arsenal were afraid to win against PSG, Rice said there is no fear. Arsenal beat PSG 2-0 in the group stage, when PSG had the same team bar two players.
- Asked about the noise before the trip to Real Madrid, Rice said Arsenal knew it would be hard even 3-0 up. They coped really well, and he is pretty sure tomorrow brings the same performance.
- Told that PSG hit opponents with an onslaught in the first 30 minutes, Rice said Arsenal will not change the way they play for anyone. There is no way they will sit back, he said.
- Asked if Arsenal can now change things on the pitch themselves, Rice said definitely. PSG's midfield movement was really smart, but once Arsenal worked out how to beat them, chances opened up.
“…we need to have big balls and we need to go out there on the biggest stage…”
