Martin Odegaard expressed the squad’s collective pride in their strong Champions League defensive record, noting the challenge ahead against Bayern Munich, which demands exceptional focus to maintain their clean sheets.
Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard has acknowledged that the entire squad takes collective pride in the clean sheets they have secured in the Champions League this season.
The team has been among the strongest performers in the competition, having won all their league phase fixtures so far.
According to a report from OneFootball, this run highlights both their defensive solidity and their attacking consistency.
Their impressive defensive record is set to face a significant test when they meet Bayern Munich in the Champions League in a matter of hours.
The challenge of keeping a clean sheet against a Bayern side renowned for featuring some of the finest attacking players in world football is substantial.
Reflecting on the forthcoming challenge, Odegaard shared his thoughts in comments published by Arsenal Media. He emphasized the collective nature of Arsenal’s defensive success, stating:
“We are proud of our defensive record in this competition, and to be fair, it is something the whole team have pride in, not just the defence. I certainly go into games wanting to keep a clean sheet in every single game we.”
The players at the Emirates understand that they must be in the best possible condition for such a demanding contest. It is expected that they will need to work harder than they have at any point this season if they are to maintain their outstanding defensive run.
Although continuing their clean sheet record after facing the Bavarians will be difficult, the team believes it remains an achievable aim if they apply themselves with the same commitment shown in earlier rounds.
