Cristóbal Soria hasn't missed the opportunity. As usual, the panelist from El Chiringuito reacted with irony to Real Madrid's tough defeat against Arsenal in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16.

The white team fell 3-0 at the Emirates. Two direct free-kick goals by Declan Rice and another goal by Mikel Merino sealed the match.

Soria, known for his anti-Madridism, took the opportunity to celebrate the victory of the London team and, especially, the English midfielder. "From today, he has a place in my heart"

Declares Himself a Fan of Declan Rice

"His name is Declan Rice and he was born in London on January 14, 1999," Soria wrote on his X account (formerly Twitter).

He finished his message with a phrase that has set social media on fire: "From today, he has a place in the heart of all of us who love good soccer..."

The comment was accompanied by a photo of the celebration of one of Rice's stunning free-kick goals, which left Thibaut Courtois without a response.

Mockery After the White Disaster

The Sevillian has never hidden his animosity toward Real Madrid. Every defeat of the merengue team is a reason for celebration for him on social media and television.

The thrashing in London was no exception. Declan Rice's figure served as the perfect excuse to mock Ancelotti's team, which he has already harshly criticized on other occasions.

His followers on social media, especially the anti-Madridists, applauded the message. In contrast, the Madridists accused him of being opportunistic and disrespecting the club after a difficult night.

Rice's Double, the Great White Nightmare

Declan Rice was the main protagonist of the match. The Arsenal midfielder scored two free-kick goals that surprised Courtois and left Real Madrid reeling.

His performance has been highlighted throughout Europe. Now, it has also been used by Soria to launch a new jab at the white team.

The message is clear: the Sevillian continues to take advantage of every Real Madrid stumble to make noise. This time, with the help of a player who, according to him, "already has his place reserved in the hearts of soccer lovers."
