Martin Odegaard on Real Madrid debut: 'I was a little bit nervous'

Real Madrid midfielder Martin Odegaard became the Spanish giants' youngest La Liga player ever when he made his debut in the 7-3 win over Getafe.

Odegaard, at 16 years and 157 days, was brought on as a second-half substitute for hat trick hero Cristiano Ronaldo in Saturday's win.

However, the Norwegian admitted that he felt nerves despite looking assured with all 17 of his attempted passes completed.

"I was a little bit nervous about playing in front of so many people, but I tried to enjoy the moment," he told Real's official website.

"It's a special day, I feel very proud and very happy. I've had a really good time in my first season at Real Madrid and I've felt very comfortable."
