Former Chelsea defender Scott Minto hailed Arsenal as ‘the best team in Europe’ following a dominant display against Napoli.A thunderous second-half strike from captain Martin Odegaard proved to be the difference on a sweltering Champions League night in Naples.Three of Odegaard’s six Champions League goals have come from outside the boxAFPThe Norwegian let rip with a first-time effort from just outside the 18-yard box that fizzed away from Napoli goalkeeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic, capping off a fine move from the Gunners that featured plenty of neat interplay.The stats behind Martin Odegaard’s performanceOdegaard’s goal – his first in the Champions League since March 2025 – was the cherry on top of what was a true captain’s display.He was at the centre of everything good for the Gunners as he created the most chances (6), had the most touches (20) and completed the most passes that broke Napoli’s defensive line (5) throughout the contest.But it wasn’t just a one-man show from Odegaard, as the entire Arsenal squad combined to repel a Napoli attack that often looked to strike in transitional play.Crucially, it was another clean sheet for Mikel Arteta’s side, who have now kept 20 in their last 40 Champions League fixtures.What did Scott Minto say about Arsenal’s performance against Napoli?And for Minto, who was on commentary for talkSPORT, he could only wax lyrical about Arsenal’s all-round display.“It’s almost as if Arsenal fans are wanting to be in May really, because they are peaking right now,” Minto said.“I think they are the best team in Europe. They look the most complete team. “There were times in the first half where they did look un-Arsenal-like, where they on the transition were quite open.“But still David Raya didn’t have too many saves to make. One in particular from Matteo Politano and Kevin De Bruyne. And that’s about it really.Arsenal’s win over Napoli preserved their 100 per cent win rate this seasonGetty“And in the second half, they just absolutely stepped it up and led by their captain, their talisman.“And when he plays and plays well, they’re a special side. No one can complain… the little one-twos, it’s like a conductor in an orchestra dictating the tempo and the pace of the music you’re about to sit back and enjoy. He’s a wonderful player, it’s a wonderful strike.“And really, if anything, the scoreline flatters Napoli.”How does Martin Odegaard’s goal tally this season compare to other seasons?Odegaard’s winner against Napoli continued his dream start to the campaign as he took his goal tally to four.He got on the scoresheet in Arsenal’s 3-0 rout of Manchester City to win the Community Shield before he netted the club’s third of the Premier League season in a dominant opening day win over Coventry City.Odegaard then proved to be the hero for the Gunners in a pulsating 2-1 win over Chelsea last Sunday.Odegaard’s goal against Napoli was his 46th for ArsenalGettyImpressively, he has comfortably surpassed his goal haul for the entirety of the 2025/26 campaign, in which he scored just once.And he is now well on track to beat his tally from the 2024/25 season, where he netted six times in all competitions.Odegaard now switches his attention back to the Premier League, with the Gunners next in action away to Sunderland on Saturday at 8pm
