Arsenal odegaard

Martin Odegaard: Arsenal midfielder Martin Odegaard believes the heated rivalry with Manchester City is a result of both teams wanting to be the best. The two teams will meet again on Sunday at the Emirates Stadium.

The last time these two sides met was in a 2-2 draw at the Etihad stadium earlier in the season. Despite the Gunners having taken the lead in the first-half, Leandro Trossard’s red card put the North London side on the backfoot. Arsenal proceeded to defend with everything they had but their efforts were undone by a 99th minute equaliser.

A moment of controversy had followed the game when Man City striker Erling Haaland was seen telling the Arsenal manager to ‘stay humble.’ Haaland’s national team captain, who also leads Arsenal Odegaard was asked about the incident in the build-up to the game on Sunday.
