JAKARTA - Martin Odegaard is enjoying his loan spell at Real Sociedad. The Real Madrid player is even sure that he can bring the team he is defending to qualify for the Champions League next season.
Four La Liga wins from Sociedad's last five matches before being suspended due to the COVID-19 crash in March pushed Imanol Alguacl's side to fourth.
The Basque club are now on track to return to the Champions League for the first time since 2013. Odegaard has expressed confidence ahead of La Liga's restart.
"We are where we want to be, and qualifying for the Champions League is what we want," he said in an interview with Marca.
"It would be difficult to do something to stop Real Madrid or Barcelona, but against other teams, I think we can finish third or fourth."

"Playing in the Champions League is a dream, and that's where we want to be next year."
Odegaard has enjoyed a brilliant season at the Anoeta Stadium. He scored seven goals in 28 La Real appearances, including a major role in their trip to the Copa del Rey final.
The 21-year-old has been linked with an early return to the club in the Spanish capital this summer, despite the terms of his two-year loan agreement.
However, the Norway international has signaled he is happy to stay on loan next season as chances of getting a starting position are increasing under Alguacil.
