Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard has cautioned his teammates against carrying an inferiority complex into the Champions League draw on Friday.
The Gunners secured their first quarter-final spot in the elite club competition in 14 years after a tense penalty shootout win over Porto on Tuesday night.
Despite a nerve-wracking performance against the Portuguese giants, the Norway international insists that Arsenal cannot afford to be intimidated by traditional European heavyweights such as Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich.
“To be honest, we can’t think like that,” Odegaard replied in his post-match interview when asked if there was any team he wanted to avoid in Friday’s draw.
“It is the biggest tournament in the world and, no matter what team we get, it’s going to be a good team. We will just take what we get and we will try to win.”
