Achraf Hakimi and Odegaard: From Real Madrid Castilla to Champions League Final

Martin Odegaard and Achraf Hakimi are set to face each other in the Champions League final, a remarkable reunion after sharing the pitch at Real Madrid Castilla during the 2016-17 season. Arsenal's number 8 and Paris Saint-Germain's number 2 played nine matches together under Santiago Solari's management in Segunda División B, recording four wins, four draws, and one defeat.

Their partnership produced memorable moments, including a 3-0 victory over Socuéllamos where Hakimi assisted Odegaard for the final goal. That strike turned out to be one of Odegaard's last for Castilla before his winter transfer to Heerenveen.

A decade later, both talented players have risen to the pinnacle of European football and will now compete against each other on the biggest stage in Budapest.
