Martin Odegaard Shirts Outsell Cristiano Ronaldo in Norway

Cristiano Ronaldo might be one of the most popular football players on the planet, but his young team-mate Martin Odegaard is doing the business when it comes to shirt sales in his homeland of Norway.

The 16-year-old has made just one senior appearance for Real Madrid, replacing Ronaldo in their final La Liga fixture last season. That's been enough to convince his compatriots that Odegaard is the name to get on the back of the famous white shirt.

66% of all the Norway shirts sold in the Ullevaal stadium shop carry the young Real Madrid star's name, many more than his team-mates.
