We can write history, that alone for us is enough of a motivation for us,"[/b] he said.[/p][p]"I don’t think about pressure too much. I just try to enjoy it and leave the rest in God’s hands," he added.[/p][p]The lifelong [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/arsenal/hA1Zm19f/"]Arsenal[/a] supporter who came up through the academy spoke at length about what it would mean for him to win the Champions League.[/p][p][b]"We all know where my journey started, at seven at Hale End. I’m very excited about the opportunity to win another trophy and create history for the club that I love. I know exactly what this triumph would mean for the fans.

We want to make even more history," he added.[/p][p]Odegaard mentioned [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/gyokeres-viktor/zaBZ1xIk/"]Viktor Gyokeres[/a], the club's marquee summer signing, as a player who can be decisive in the final.[/p][p][b]"He’s been brilliant since he came in, scored some big goals. The attention he takes on the pitch leaves a lot for the rest of us. He works so hard, leaves everything on the pitch. Special player, and already won a trophy in his first season, that’s pretty good,"[/b] he said.[/p][p]"We’ve shown our quality for a very long time, winning probably the toughest league to win in the world, that gives us confidence. We are playing a great team, but our main focus is on us and what we can control," Odegaard concluded.[/p][p][b][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/game/soccer/arsenal-hA1Zm19f/psg-CjhkPw0k/?mid=EJZRaQ15"]Follow the Champions League final with Flashscore[/a][/b][/p]
