Rice, who was the hero in Arsenal’s quarter-final clash against Real Madrid, has identified how the Gunners can overturn their deficit against the Parisians.
The England international believes the Gunners will need moments of magic, such as those against Real Madrid, to overcome the French champions.
"He (Mikel Arteta) always talks about having someone delivering a magic moment," Rice said, as quoted by BBC Sport.
"I think in that game against Madrid, obviously I was able to produce two free-kicks, which were incredible. But tomorrow night, a semi-final is set up for someone else to maybe get that magic moment.”
"Hopefully it's me again, but you're going to need a moment of magic to win a game, and as a team we're going to need that,” he added.
