Ødegaard angry at Silva after controversial challenge in Norway vs Portugal clash

Martin Ødegaard, the captain of the Norway national team, has expressed his anger towards Bernardo Silva after a strong and controversial challenge from the Portugal midfielder during the match between the two national teams in the UEFA Nations League.

In the closing minutes of the match, Silva fouled Ødegaard shortly after the latter passed the ball, causing the Norway captain to fall to the ground in pain before leaving the pitch limping.

Martin Ødegaard stated in remarks reported by "TV2" after the match: "This does not belong on a football pitch. It is unfortunate that some people behave this way. He kicked me and brought me down long after I had cleared the ball, and I don't understand what he was doing."

Arsenal player added: "You have to ask him, I don't know what he was doing. This doesn't belong on a football pitch. It's unfortunate that people behave this way, but that's life."

Martin Ødegaard has revealed that Bernardo Silva did not apologize to him after the incident, raising concerns about the physical condition of the Norway captain and the potential impact of the injury on his upcoming appearances for club and country.
