Mikel Merino also scored in the first-leg quarter-final match at the Emirates on Tuesday night.
Arsenal is now close to advancing to a semi-final face-off against either Aston Villa or Paris Saint-Germain.
The Gunners showcased impressive performances throughout the match yesterday.
However, it was Rice who truly captured the spotlight with his two exquisite free-kicks.
The England international, who had NEVER scored a direct free-kick in his career until now, converted his first from distance in the 58th minute.
Nonetheless, Rice’s second goal in the 70th minute was even more remarkable.
Positioned at an angle reminiscent of set-piece master David Beckham, Rice curled a stunning shot around Real Madrid’s wall and into the top corner.
