Odegaard’s Revenge: How Declan Rice Became the Cannonball That Crushed Real Madrid

In 2015, a young Martin Odegaard joined Real Madrid full of ambition. But with a star-filled squad led by Ronaldo, Benzema, and James Rodríguez, Odegaard struggled to find space — and eventually, he was sent out on loan.

That memory never left him.

Now, as Arsenal captain and leader of a new generation, Odegaard returned to face his former club — this time in the Champions League. In my latest cartoon, I imagined him reliving those old memories, walking up to the iconic Arsenal cannon… and loading a single football inside it.

But this was no ordinary shot — the ball transforms mid-air into Declan Rice, who smashes into Real Madrid’s castle and scores two stunning goals. Arsenal win 3-0, and Odegaard’s revenge is complete.

This cartoon is a tribute to Odegaard’s journey, Rice’s power, and the poetic stories football gives us. I’m proud to bring it to life for Bleacher Report Football.
