At home, Arsenal got off to a poor start when Ousmane Dembele opened the scoring for PSG after just three minutes. Throughout the match, Arsenal captain Odegaard failed to show his ability. The Norwegian star played poorly and was outclassed by PSG's dynamic and disciplined midfield. This made Arsenal fans unhappy.
On social media, one account commented: "Martin Odegaard annoys me. He looks very busy but doesn't make any notable contributions. With his talent, Martin needs to show more, especially in matches like this."
Another agreed: "This is really bad. Martin should be the captain of Arsenal."

However, many fans still defended the Norwegian midfielder. One fan commented: "Am I the only one who notices what Martin does when he doesn't have the ball? He always calls for his teammates to close him down. Although he may not create many chances or score many goals, Martin is still a leader on the pitch. He demands a lot from his teammates."
Another fan suggested Odegaard has been in decline since picking up an injury at the start of the season: "I think he's lost some flexibility in his ankle after the surgery. Martin's shots and passes aren't as good as before. He's a completely different player since his injury."
In 89 minutes on the pitch, Odegaard only created 1 scoring opportunity, launched 24 accurate passes, no accurate crosses or long balls. He only won 2/14 duels and lost the ball 14 times. Sofascore gave Odegaard 6.3 points, the lowest in Arsenal's midfield.
Former player Alan Shearer also expressed disappointment with Odegaard's performance. "PSG were the better team in this match, Arsenal fans have to accept that," he said.
