Arsenal fans are furious with Odegaard.

Many fans criticized Martin Odegaard for his underwhelming performance against PSG in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final on the morning of April 30th.

At home, Arsenal had a terrible start when Ousmane Dembele scored the opening goal for PSG after just 3 minutes. Throughout the match, Arsenal captain Odegaard failed to impress. The Norwegian star played poorly and was outplayed by PSG's mobile and disciplined midfield. This left Arsenal fans unhappy.

On social media, one user commented: "Martin Odegaard frustrates me. He looks very busy but doesn't make any notable contribution. With his talent, Martin needs to show more, especially in matches like this."

Another person agreed: "That's really bad. Martin should have been the leader of Arsenal."

Nevertheless, many fans 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's always urging his teammates to press him. Even if he doesn't create many chances or score goals, Martin is still a leader on the pitch. He demands a lot from his teammates."

Another fan suggested that Odegaard's form had declined since his 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 the injury."

In 89 minutes on the pitch, Odegaard created only one scoring opportunity, made 24 accurate passes, and had no accurate crosses or long balls. He won only 2 out of 14 duels and lost possession 14 times. Sofascore gave Odegaard a score of 6.3, the lowest among Arsenal's midfielders.

Former Arsenal legend Alan Shearer also expressed his disappointment with Odegaard's performance. "PSG were the better team in this game, Arsenal fans have to accept that," he said.

Goals in the Arsenal vs. Palace draw: In the early hours of April 24th, Arsenal drew 2-2 with Crystal Palace in the 34th round of the Premier League.
