Martin Ødegaard: How teenage prodigy finally found his home at Arsenal
CNN
Why Norwegian international Martin Ødegaard’s career has blossomed at Arsenal under Mikel Arteta.
As he led the team out inside of a raucous Emirates Stadium on Tuesday night, Arsenal captain Martin Ødegaard had the weight of expectation on his shoulders. The Gunners needed a turn over a goal deficit from the first-leg against Porto to secure safe passage into the quarterfinals of the Champions League for the first time in 14 years – in a tournament Arsenal has never managed to win. But amid all the spine-tingling, goosebump-inducing noise swirling around the ground, the Norwegian looked like the calmest man in the stadium. It’s fitting, perhaps, that the first thing Ødegaard would have seen when he walked out of the tunnel before kick-off was a huge sign unfurled on the opposing stand which read ‘Our House’ in Spanish. Because Ødegaard looks to have finally found his home at Arsenal. Despite the pressure, the midfielder was laughing and joking with the children lining up in front of the players before kick-off, doing his best to reassure them amid the boisterous atmosphere created by the fans desperate to see their side progress in Europe’s premier competition.
