"It is a historical moment for Bodo and I think also for Norwegian football. Winners 2-1 on the night, Bodo's 5-2 aggregate success secured their place in the Champions League last 16 for the first time, where they will face either Manchester City or Sporting."
"It sounds not true, but we are there, among the last teams in the competition. Jens Petter Hauge was again inspirational, scoring his sixth goal in the competition this season for the opener, before setting up Hakon Evjen's lovely finish for the second."
"Bodo/Glimt are the first Norwegian side to progress in a knockout-stage tie in the Champions League and the first overall in the European Cup since Lillestrom in the first round in 1987-88. The Norwegians are the first team from outside of Europe's big five leagues to win four consecutive games in a European Cup/Champions League campaign."
Bodo/Glimt, a Norwegian team based 70 miles into the Arctic Circle, achieved a historic upset by eliminating Inter Milan from the Champions League. Despite facing the three-time competition winners and Serie A leaders, Bodo secured a 2-1 victory in Milan to complete a 5-2 aggregate triumph. This achievement marks the first time a Norwegian side has progressed past a knockout-stage tie in Champions League history. Jens Petter Hauge scored the opening goal and assisted Hakon Evjen's second, continuing his impressive campaign with six goals in the competition. Bodo's success follows earlier group-stage victories over Manchester City and Atletico Madrid, establishing them as genuine contenders. They now advance to face either Manchester City or Sporting in the last 16.
