"Having already won the first leg 3-1 at home, the Norwegians repeated the feat at San Siro where they won 2-1 to book a round-of-16 tie against either Manchester City or Sporting CP. Bodo/Glimt have already proven themselves capable of beating City this campaign, having dished out a 3-1 defeat to Pep Guardiola's side in the group stage."
"To call Bodo/Glimt's achievement monumental is something of an understatement -- but where does their elimination of three-time winners Inter rank in comparison to some of the other great Champions League knockout upsets?"
Bodo/Glimt achieved a historic upset by eliminating Inter Milan, last season's Champions League finalists, across two knockout-round playoff matches. The Norwegian club won 3-1 at home in the first leg, then secured a 2-1 victory at San Siro to advance 5-2 on aggregate. This remarkable achievement follows Bodo/Glimt's earlier group-stage victories over Manchester City (3-1) and Atlético Madrid, establishing them as formidable European competitors. The club has played only three competitive fixtures in 2026, as the Norwegian domestic season concluded in November to avoid winter play. Bodo/Glimt now faces either Manchester City or Sporting CP in the round of 16.
