Odegaard was then asked what it would mean to complete the double: “Yeah, it would be unreal. I mean, we’re living in a dream, winning the Premier League and being in a Champions League final.

“I was speaking to my mate about growing up and dreaming about this, and now we’re there. So we’ve got to enjoy it and make sure we’re ready and go for it, hopefully we can do it.”
