Odegaard claims he tries not to think about how the season ended. He guided Arsenal to the verge of Premier League gold, but a late slump in form, along with Manchester City's remarkable run, saw them finish second.
Martin Odegaard acknowledged that the Premier League title-race loss of Arsenal to Manchester City still "stings" and that he has shunned his international teammate Erling Haaland's celebrations.
The 2022–23 season saw the Arsenal captain in superb form, scoring 15 goals and providing seven assists from midfield.
However, despite the individual efforts of Odegaard and outstanding seasons from Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, William Saliba, and others, Arsenal was unable to maintain their winning streak and eventually lost to Manchester City's unrelenting winning machine.
Although Odegaard revealed while on international service with Norway that he attempted to avoid watching City, and particularly his teammate Haaland, celebrate their victories, Pep Guardiola's club added the FA Cup and Champions League success to complete a famous treble.
Because it still stings, I've tried not to see as much of that material there, Odegaard said.
"I make an effort not to dwell on it too much. I have a bad sensation despite the fact that we gave a long time of really wonderful service.
Following their defeat in the race for the Premier League championship, Arsenal decided to support Mikel Arteta in the transfer market. Although they haven't yet finalized a deal for Declan Rice, the club has made their initial approach and had a £90 million offer rejected.
However, Arsenal must be careful of any prospective transfer being hijacked by Manchester City or Chelsea, both of which have genuine interest in Rice and the financial clout to crush any proposal put out by the Gunners. 90min understands an improved offer will be submitted.
The first time Champions League football has been available at the Emirates Stadium since the 2016–17 season is what Arsenal can offer fans next season.
