READY FOR TAKE OFF

Rice: One trophy is all it'll take to get Gunners flying

- JOHN CROSS

DECLAN RICE believes that Arsenal can start a glorious era of success by winning the Champions League.

The England midfielder is convinced once Arsenal win one trophy then others will quickly follow and it is clear that Rice is utterly convinced they can overcome Paris St-Germain.

Rice spoke with a belief and confidence in his voice that, after seeing off Real Madrid last time, they can repeat it, but it will also be just the start for his teammates.

Gunners boss Mikel Arteta has worked wonders at the Emirates but only has one FA Cup to show for all his efforts in the past five-and-a-half years.

Arsenal have never won the biggest European trophy and Rice says lifting the Champions League would top everything else and start a rush of trophies for the club.

Rice said: "For the next few years going forward, I just want to help this club.

"We were so close the last few years to winning the Premier League, now the Champions League, we are in the semi-final.
