While the English media focuses on Arsenal missing out on another Premier League title, for their fourth “first loser’s place” in a row, there is a completely different mood in the Arsenal squad. Martin Ødegaard is back from injury and takes two 90-minute Premier League games into the semi-finals against Athletico Madrid and Alexander Sørloth. The Arsenal captain does not agree that the Gunners are hampered by fear of losing titles.

“How can you not enjoy it?” We play in the toughest and most competitive league in the world. We are at the top and fighting for the championship, and we are in the semi-finals of the Champions League,” begins an energetic Arsenal captain according to Sky Sports.

“This is what we have dreamed of. Everyone is ready for it, everyone is prepared for it. The energy in the group is fantastic, says Ødegaard.

This is the captain Arsenal now need for the season finale. Go Gunners!
