The Arsenal star Martin Odegaard was unable to help the Gunners advance in the Champions League, as they faced a defeat against Bayern Munich, with Joshua Kimmich securing the game’s only goal. Despite Odegaard’s recent good form, former Arsenal striker Wright highlighted that other players had a bigger impact in their Champions League ties, citing Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Vitinha as an example of a player who can affect games. Wright emphasized the need for Arsenal to have a player with an “X-Factor” who can take advantage of rare opportunities in tight games, following the team’s recent setbacks in the Champions League and the Premier League.
He stressed the importance of having a player who can turn a cagey affair in their favor and make unexpected game-changing moves. Ultimately, Arsenal’s chances for a trophy this season rely on staging a significant comeback in the Premier League title race, with Manchester City leading the top-flight on 73 points, closely followed by Arteta’s side and Liverpool with 71 points due to their defeats last weekend.
