Bodo/Glimt, a Norwegian team based roughly 200 miles from the Arctic Circle, has created significant upsets in this Champions League season. Just recently, Bodo/Glimt made another unexpected impact.

Facing Inter Milan, three-time champions and finalists just over nine months ago, was a tough challenge, even though Bodo held a 3-1 advantage from the first leg. Yet, they once again rose to the occasion at the crucial moment, just as they did when beating Man City and Atletico Madrid in the group stage.

The small Norwegian club shakes up the Champions League.

Bodo/Glimt showed resilience and determination in Italy to complete a double victory over Cristian Chivu’s team, winning both home and away legs. They withstood numerous Inter attacks in the first half before scoring twice, leaving the Serie A leaders with insufficient time and chances to overturn the tie. Winning 2-1 in the second leg, Bodo advanced 5-2 on aggregate to reach the Champions League round of 16 for the first time in their history. Statistics show Bodo/Glimt defeated Man City, Atletico Madrid, and Inter (twice) within 35 days.

Coach Kjetil Knutsen said: "This is a historic moment for Bodo and I believe for Norwegian football as well."

Bodo/Glimt caused a major upset by beating Inter Milan 2-1, securing progression with a 5-2 aggregate score.

Jens Petter Hauge remained Bodo/Glimt’s inspiration by scoring the opener and then assisting Hakon Evjen for a beautiful finish to double the lead. According to stats, Hauge has scored 6 goals for Bodo/Glimt in this Champions League season, the highest number ever by a Norwegian player for a Norwegian club in a single European Cup/Champions League campaign.

Moreover, Bodo/Glimt became the first Norwegian team to win two knockout ties in the Champions League and the first from Norway to do so in European Cup competition since Lillestrom in the first round of the 1987/88 season.
