Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has recalled his first encounter with Martin Odegaard ahead of Wednesday night's huge title showdown against Arsenal at the Etihad.
Odegaard is the captain of the Gunners nowadays, but he was once a boy wonder attracting interest from every major European club on the continent. Having represented his country at just 15 years of age, the mercurial playmaker was a hot topic and in December 2014, visited a number of huge sides ready to take the next step in his career.
The then-teenager was wanted by Bayern Munich, who were at the time under the reign of Guardiola. He has since explained how the pair first met nearly 10 years before the upcoming title decider.
