Norwegian club Bodø/Glimt wins again in Champions League to set up potential playoff with Real Madrid
LONDON: (Jan 29) Tiny Bodø/Glimt is making a big splash in the Champions League and after back-to-back upsets over Manchester City and Atletico Madrid, it has set up a possible showdown with Real Madrid.
A 2-1 comeback win at Atletico on Wednesday saw the Norwegian club scrape into the playoffs. It means it will play either record 15-time European champion Madrid or last year’s losing finalist Inter Milan.
“The feeling is enormous, I am so incredibly proud,” Bodø/Glimt coach Kjetil Knutsen said. “I’m not going to compare it to anything, but we do what we do. We should be extremely proud of that. Achievements stand on their own.”
