In an interview with BBC Match of the Day, Odegaard remarked: “It was an exceptional game with an exceptional result.”
“The atmosphere was incredible, and we all thoroughly enjoyed that experience.”

Speaking about the young players, he said: “What they are doing is extraordinary, and I can’t praise them enough. Myles (Lewis-Skelly) started with great confidence, and Ethan (Nwaneri) made an instant impact after coming on. I love seeing their confidence and eagerness.”
“I am immensely proud of them.”
Regarding the match, he added: “There was considerable pressure coming into this game, but we delivered a brilliant performance. We know we can compete with anyone, and today we proved that.”
