"It's an amazing, historical moment for Bodo/Glimt, and a historical moment for Norwegian football. I am so proud, we are a team from a small town. I really hope we showed if we can do it, then everyone can do it. For me, that's the most beautiful thing about the whole story."
"I don't know, we are not talking about goals, we talk about performances. I want to develop the players, the team, and always try to be competitive. That's the way we do it. It will be the same in the next games, too."
"Bodo became the first Norwegian team to win a Champions League knockout tie, and they did so in style with a 2-1 win at San Siro, beating the Serie A leaders 5-2 on aggregate. Jens Petter Hauge and Hakon Evjen scored in the second half, and Bodo had to survive plenty of pressure at the other end."
Bodø/Glimt achieved a historic milestone by becoming the first Norwegian team to win a Champions League knockout tie, defeating Inter Milan 2-1 at San Siro for a 5-2 aggregate victory. Manager Kjetil Knutsen emphasized the achievement's significance, stating that their success demonstrates what smaller clubs can accomplish. Bodø scored through Jens Petter Hauge and Hakon Evjen in the second half, withstanding significant pressure from Inter, who recorded 30 shots. The Norwegian club became the first team outside Europe's top five leagues to win four consecutive Champions League games against top-five league opponents since Ajax in 1971-72. Knutsen focused on performance rather than specific goals, expressing pride in the team's development and competitive approach moving forward.
