Martin Ødegaard had seven days to really celebrate with a World Cup ticket for Norway and Arsenal’s continued success at the top of the Premier League after the 4-1 win against city rivals Tottenham. This with the captain still outside the match arena. On Wednesday, Ødegaard got his first minutes back, here he got to be part of Arsenal’s charm stage to a 3-1 victory over Bayern Munich.
The Arsenal captain has been out injured since October 4, but has played a role in the dressing room and along the sidelines. Against Bayern, it was time for a comeback, for a team that, unlike last season, has done excellently without Ødegaard. With the Norwegian captain on the pitch, it looks like no one can stop Arsenal this season.

In the Champions League, Arsenal is the only club with five wins. In the Premier League, the Gunners are six points ahead of Chelsea, seven ahead of Manchester City, with heavy favourites Liverpool completely punctuated with 11 fewer points after 12 games.
Mikel Arteta has a title-winning breadth in the squad this season, combined with one of the best captains in Europe, experience in the squad from several near-titles and continuity stretching back to 2019 with the same coach. A combination that not only smells of gold, but gold in both the Premier League and the Champions League!
