The winner of the confrontation between the two Madrid clubs will almost certainly face Arsenal, who beat PSV Eindhoven in the first leg on Tuesday. The Premier League team will necessarily be a very difficult test for the two teams, even if the one who qualifies will have the advantage of hosting the return match in its stadium.
If it is Real Madrid who qualifies, he could face Martin Odegaard, who was in his ranks from 2015 to 2021. The Norwegian playmaker had trouble winning in the first team during his stay in the Spanish capital, and after many loans, he left to definitively join Arsenal four years ago.
No resentment
Odegaard does not keep any resentment of his missed passage to Real Madrid and told Amazon Prime (via Revo) that he would like to face his former club in the next round of the Champions League.
“It would be special to come back (at Santiago Bernabeu to face Real Madrid). Whatever the opponent we will face, we will be ready, but we must first finish work at home and then we will see who we will have. »»
