Martin Odegaard has warned his Arsenal team-mates not to fear any of the other teams left in the ...

The Gunners reached the quarter-finals of the competition after a penalty shootout win over the Portuguese giants at the Emirates on Tuesday. Despite reaching the last eight of the Champions League for the first time in 14 years, the Norwegian appears to be relishing the chance to face a Barcelona, Bayern Munich, or Real Madrid, among others, in the next round. When asked if there were any teams he wanted to avoid in the last eight, as quoted by the Metro, he replied: "To be honest, we can’t think like that. It’s the biggest tournament in the world and, no matter what team we get, it’s going to be a good team. We will just take what we get and we will try to win. That’s where we want to be. We want to be on the biggest stage. We want to play the biggest games and fight for the biggest trophies. When I came here I believed in the project, in the club, what they were doing, everything around the club, I believed in it – and now we are here doing well. We just have to keep pushing each other and make sure we get a little bit better every day. We will see where it takes us."
