Martin Odegaard, the captain of Arsenal, has spoken candidly about his decision to quit Real Madrid.
Odegaard first came to the Gunners in January 2021 on loan from Real Madrid.
In advance of the 2021–2022 season, the 24-year-old midfielder made the loan deal permanent.
Last season, Odegaard was named captain of Arsenal and helped the Gunners finished second in the Premier League table.
The Norway international was voted the best player for the year by the Arsenal fans.
Odegaard has finally acknowledged that switching to Arsenal from Los Blancos was the smartest move.
“My time in Madrid was good. It was a positive stage, although perhaps some might think otherwise.
“I learned a lot, I matured a lot and I was able to train with some of the best players in the world.
“But in the end, leaving was the best decision for me, I wanted to play more and continue growing. I played with them and I enjoyed it. Maybe the opportunity came too soon but ‘It was a great experience’,” Odegaard told reporters.
