Bernardo Silva's late challenge on Odegaard during Sunday's Norway-Portugal Nations League clash ignited fury among Norwegian fans and Arsenal supporters alike.
Odegaard himself didn't hold back. On the pitch, he unleashed a torrent of expletives at Bernardo, clearly captured by television cameras.
Later, in the mixed zone, the Norway captain didn't spare his former Manchester City rival from criticism, a sentiment echoed by Patrick Berg.
Bernardo Silva did not speak to reporters after the match but did pass through the mixed zone. When confronted by a local journalist about the tackle and Odegaard's subsequent comments, the Real Madrid player offered a single remark as he departed, as seen in the video below:
"It's football, my friend," was all the Portuguese player said.
Odegaard was seen limping as he left Ullevaal Stadium but expressed confidence that he would be fit to face Wales on Thursday.
