Former Manchester United legend, Wayne Rooney has blamed Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice for Paris Saint Germain’s opening goal in Tuesday’s Champions League semi-finals first leg at the Emirates.
Recall that the French champions will take a 1-0 advantage into the second leg in Paris next week after getting the better of their English counterparts on Tuesday night, with Dembele’s early effort enough to separate the two sides.
Reacting after the game, Rooney told Dailymail that Rice could have done better to stop the opening goal.

‘It is a really good pass that break the lines,’ Rooney began. ‘Arsenal have enough time to recover.
‘Rice makes the wrong decision, he thinks he is trying to cover but he leaves the space of the danger of where Dembele is.
‘In the quarter-final, the semi-final, those details win and lose you the competition and today Arsenal got a lot wrong.’
