"Manchester City slumped to one of the most humiliating upsets in Champions League history, losing to a 3-1 at tiny Norwegian club Bodø/Glimt on Tuesday. The second-half sending-off of Rodri completed a miserable evening for big-spending City in Bodø, a fishing town with a population of around 55,000 and located north of the Arctic Circle -- more than 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) north of Oslo."
"Jens Hauge sent the home fans wild inside the 8,000-capacity Aspmyra stadium by curling into the top corner in the 58th to make the score a scarcely believable 3-0. City replied through Rayan Cherki in the 60th but hopes of a comeback were damaged by Rodri -- the Ballon d'Or winner in 2024 -- getting sent off in the 62nd minute for collecting a second yellow card in quick succession."
