- The moment the post is named after. A video message from a proper club legend is special, Odegaard says, and the point lands with him: this team can now do the one thing that great side never did, and that is something nice to play for.
“But the mindset is still the same. We want to come here and win tomorrow.”
- He has lived the ups and downs of this club and felt what the league title meant to the supporters. The parade would be the first proper mass gathering of Arsenal fans, he says, and winning tomorrow would make it even crazier. Focus first, enjoy after.
- Brilliant, unbelievable, Odegaard says: big goals, and beyond them the attention he draws leaves space for everyone else. He gives everything every game, and a trophy already in year one, the captain adds, is not bad.
- Asked about the physio he celebrated with on Instagram: massive for him personally, with a lot of treatment together. But he widens it to every person working for the club, out of the spotlight, a family that includes the staff, and players cannot perform without them.
- Hoping to celebrate again after tomorrow. He has been to the city before and played in this stadium a few times against Hungary, so the stage itself holds no surprises for him.
