"Bodo/Glimt's rise from Norwegian obscurity to the Champions League knockouts is arguably the most astonishing and intriguing story in Europe in 2025/26. At the centre of the side quite literally Patrick Berg is a third-generation captain of the Arctic Circle outfit after his father and grandfather, and has stood out for his excellent performances against the likes of Manchester City and Inter Milan this term."
"A true hometown hero for Bodo/Glimt, Berg was born in Bodo, came through the youth ranks at his local club, and a year after making his international debut, he signed for Franck Haise's Lens, who were bringing in talents like Kevin Danso, Cheick Doucoure and Abdukodir Khusanov at the time."
"Since his return to Kjetil Knutsen's side, however, he's become the fulcrum once more, with his game defined by intelligent positioning, futsal-derived press resistance, verticality in his passing and a robotic consistency."
Patrick Berg, a 28-year-old Norwegian midfielder, serves as Bodo/Glimt's third-generation captain following his father and grandfather. Born in Bodo, he progressed through the club's youth system and became the most expensive player ever signed by a Norwegian club after a brief stint at Lens. Despite initial struggles adapting to the French system, Berg returned to Glimt where he has become instrumental to the team's remarkable rise to the Champions League knockouts. His performances against top European sides like Manchester City and Inter Milan have been exceptional. Berg is expected to play a crucial role for Norway at their first World Cup in 28 years. His game is characterized by intelligent positioning, press resistance, vertical passing, and consistent performances.
