Martin Odegaard is officially a Premier League champion, and he says it feels \u2018unreal\u2019.<\/p>\n

Our captain lifted the Premier League trophy after our 2-1 win over Crystal Palace on Sunday, and after the game he told us all about his emotions at becoming only the third player to captain us to Premier League glory, after Tony Adams and Patrick Vieira.<\/p>\n

“It feels unreal – hard to put it into words, but just so proud, happy and emotional,\u201d he said afterwards.<\/p>\n

“It’s a crazy, crazy feeling. Walking up towards the trophy and just realising everything is a mad feeling. I’m just so proud of everyone for the way we did it and everything we’ve been through, and to finally get over the line just means the world to everyone, so I’m so happy.”<\/p>\n

It was always going to be a day of unbridled celebration, after our title was confirmed on Tuesday night. And the post-match scenes did not disappoint with the away end at Selhurst Park in full on party mode.<\/p>\n

Martin said: \u201cYou can’t imagine what it’s like and we had a great night on Tuesday, together at the training ground.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd then today to lift the trophy – this is what I’ve been dreaming about my whole life, to win the Premier League, and to be at this stage is unbelievable.”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
