""He's got all the licence in the world to go forward, Martin, and to play with that freedom, and to play with that level of threat especially, not only with the passes, but the way he was taking the ball, carrying the ball, making runs and arriving in really dangerous areas,""
""I think that creativity part is his nature. It doesn't bring any pressure to him because it's his best ability to generate things that not a lot of players can do. He has total freedom from my side to do and to explore and to take risks and to feel the movement and where he needs to generate those spaces. I think he's certainly done that in the last two games.""
Martin Ødegaard influenced Arsenal's attacking performance after coming on as a substitute and provided the stoppage-time assist for Bukayo Saka in a 2-0 Champions League victory over Olympiacos. Gabriel Martinelli opened the scoring in the 12th minute. Ødegaard also impressed as a late substitute in the previous Premier League win at Newcastle. Mikel Arteta praised Ødegaard's creativity, ball-carrying, passing and movement, and granted him freedom to take risks. Gabriel Magalhães felt a knock late in the match, but Arteta downplayed the injury and expected him to be okay for the upcoming game.
