Arsenal midfielder Martin Odegaard admits he's struggled to handle the mental challenge of being a Real Madrid player.

Odegaard is on-loan at Arsenal to June.

On moving to Madrid in 2015, he told BT Sport: "It was a bit crazy at that time, to be honest. I didn't realise because I was so young.

"When you have Real Madrid behind your name, it's always going to be high expectations.

"To be honest, I think my expectations of myself have always been bigger than the expectations from the outside.

"For me, the hardest part is to please myself and not everyone else."
