Declan Rice targets Champions League title after final defeat to Paris Saint-Germain

Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice expressed his resolve to challenge for the Champions League title following the team's victory over Napoli. The 27-year-old midfielder acknowledged the lasting impact of last season's final, where Arsenal lost to Paris Saint-Germain. Rice, who played over 60 matches last year, credited a three-week summer break with helping him recover from a lingering neural hamstring issue. He remains optimistic about the team's prospects, noting that additions to the squad and recent performance levels provide the necessary capability to compete for the trophy. Additionally, Rice praised the form of captain Martin Odegaard, who has recorded three goals this season following an injury-plagued campaign last year. The midfielder remains focused on maintaining consistency throughout the upcoming stretch of the competition.
