"We didn't really manage to challenge them tonight. The hardest thing was to create an opening. We didn't manage to and congratulations to Bodø/Glimt they won both games and deserved to go through. Perhaps the most impressive aspect of Bodø/Glimt's progress in the Champions League this season is how they have adapted to the surroundings."
"Against Inter in the second leg they were compact in the first half and ruthless in the second. After 58 minutes Ole Didrik Blomberg pressured Manuel Akanji into a mistake, nicked the ball and stung Yann Sommer's palms with a fierce drive. Jens Petter Hauge, formerly of Milan, calmly prodded home the rebound."
Bodø/Glimt achieved a stunning upset over Inter Milan in the Champions League playoff second leg, winning 2-1 at San Siro to progress 5-2 on aggregate. Inter, top of Serie A by 10 points and undefeated in the league since November, were outplayed by the Norwegian side. Bodø/Glimt demonstrated impressive adaptation to European competition, having progressed from winning their first Norwegian league title in 2020 through successive European campaigns. In the match, they remained compact in the first half before becoming ruthless in the second, with Ole Didrik Blomberg forcing an error from Manuel Akanji to set up Jens Petter Hauge's opening goal. Bodø/Glimt's European form has accelerated recently, including notable victories over Manchester City and Atlético Madrid during the league stage.
