🚨🚨 | BREAKING: Zinchenko Breaks Down as Martin Ødegaard Set for Real Madrid Return – Arsenal Captain to Leave This Summer!

“Without him we’re useless… he’s the reason we’re in the semi-final today.”

In a heart-wrenching press conference, Oleksandr Zinchenko couldn’t hold back tears as he confirmed the impending departure of Arsenal captain Martin Ødegaard, who is reportedly on the verge of rejoining Real Madrid this summer.

Ødegaard, a pivotal figure in Arsenal’s resurgence under Mikel Arteta, has accepted a blockbuster offer from Madrid — a return to the club where his European journey began but never truly flourished.

Zinchenko’s words captured the mood across the red half of North London:

> “I cried so hard when he told me… Without him, we’re useless on the pitch.”

Having led Arsenal to their first Champions League semi-final in over a decade, Ødegaard’s performances this season have been elite — balancing elegance with grit, flair with tactical brilliance. His departure, while emotionally devastating, feels inevitable in the face of Real Madrid’s allure and ambition.

Though neither Arsenal nor Ødegaard have issued official statements yet, all signs point to a summer farewell — one that could be softened only by Champions League glory.
