Young Martin Odegaard made his first appearance in a Madrid shirt (VIDEO BELOW) in his club’s friendly against Beijing Guoan. The game was played by Real Madrid’s B side (Castilla) behind closed doors and Odegaard set up two goals, and sources have claimed that he will be named in Carlo Ancelotti’s Champions League squad. If he does play in the CL this season, Odegaard will become the competition’s youngest debutant, beating Celestine Babayaro’s earlier record
Real Madrid Castilla’s game against Beijing ended in a 3-3 draw.

I think he’s going to be a good player for Los Merengues but the excessive hype of his exceptional skill and talent might be setting very high expectations of him.
Hopefully, he wouldn’t wither under all that pressure early in his young football career.
