But, ahead of the game, he said the following about Arsenal and Odegaard ( quoted by Metro):
“I think they’ve been fantastic. I think the players are growing, they’ve got the right players in.”
“I know [William] Saliba came back, [Gabriel] Jesus has been a fantastic signing, and I think [Martin] Odegaard, the way he plays at this moment in time, [Kevin] De Bruyne is a decent player, but he’s not far off him in terms of performances.”
