The Arsenal captain spoke up about the controversial situation in the defeat of his hometown team during today’s trip.
Last night and early this morning, Euro 2024 qualifying group A opened with 2 matches Scotland – Cyprus and Spain – Norway. Scotland and Spain are the two teams that have the home advantage and both won with a score of 3-0.
In the 13th minute, Dani Olmo put La Furia Roja ahead of Norway. In the second half, the star entered the field from the bench Joselu consecutively scored for the home team in 2 minutes 84 and 85, setting a win with 3 white goals.
One of the notable situations in Norway’s defeat was Rodri’s tackle on Odegaard. Speaking on TV2 after the game, Odegaard confirmed that he had been fouled by the Spaniard: “I’m pretty sure I should have been awarded a penalty. He kicked my ankle right under his shoe. Anyway I knew I had a penalty. I don’t want to talk more about the referees, it’s better not to say anything more.”
Odegaard penetrated the penalty area and finished threatening the goal of La Furia Roja, but Nacho promptly broke the ball to save. The away captain hugged his leg in pain after Rodri’s ball, but the referee judged that the Spaniard did not commit a foul.
Many Arsenal fans expressed their outrage at Rodri’s tackle. No. 16 La Furia Roja and Odegaard are the mainstays of Arsenal and Man City – two clubs that are fiercely competing in the race to win the Premier League.
