London's Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice, after reaching the Champions League semifinals, had a response for the critics of this team in an interview with the sports publication TNT Sports:

"Reaching the semifinals of this tournament again is a fantastic achievement for the whole group.

Now we want to take another step further than last year and reach the final.”

"Positivity is an important thing. Who cares what people think?

The only thing that matters is what this group thinks, what the coach thinks, and the Gunners are in another semifinal.

I’m thrilled about it.”

The Gunners will face Atletico Madrid in the semifinals.
