What Happened
Norwegian side Bodo/Glimt achieved a remarkable feat by eliminating last season’s Champions League finalists, Inter Milan, in a stunning upset. Following a 3-1 victory in the first leg, Bodo/Glimt secured their place in the last 16 with a 2-1 win at the San Siro, resulting in a 5-2 aggregate score.
Why It Matters
This victory marks a significant milestone for Bodo/Glimt, as they become the first Norwegian club to reach the knockout stages of the Champions League since Lillestrom in the 1987-88 season. Despite Inter Milan’s status as three-time European champions and their current lead in Serie A, they struggled against the Norwegian side, which has already defeated notable teams like Manchester City and Atletico Madrid in the group stage.
What’s Next
Bodo/Glimt will advance to face either Manchester City or Sporting CP in the next round of the Champions League. Meanwhile, Inter Milan will need to regroup and reassess their strategy after this disappointing exit from the tournament.
