Arsenal started the second leg against Real Madrid in a comfortable position thanks ot their 3-0 win at the Emirates last week.
Mikel Arteta’s side were cannoned into control thanks to two spectacular free-kicks from Rice.
Mikel Merino added a third to put the North London outfit into a dominant position.
Arsenal could have put the tie to bed inside just 10 minutes but Bukayo Saka fluffed his lines as he saw a penalty saved by Thibaut Courtois.
