Ronaldo watched over me during my time at Real Madrid – Odegaard

Arsenal captain, Martin Odegaard has shared insights into the valuable lessons he acquired during his youth days at Real Madrid.

Odegaard joined the La Liga giants as a teenager, spending a significant part of his Madrid career on loan. Despite this, the prominent figure at Arsenal acknowledges the invaluable learning experiences he gained from seasoned professionals during his time, notably mentioning Cristiano Ronaldo.

He told The Players’ Tribune: “They were all very kind, and the ones who spoke English – Toni Kroos, Luka Modric, Cristiano Ronaldo – took extra care of me in the beginning.

“They gave me advice and helped me a lot.

“But honestly I don’t think any of them were particularly worried about a 16-year-old from Norway taking their place in the team.”
