👀 How can that be a Champions League record? Bodø/Glimt set new benchmark | OneFootball

Bodø/Glimt is responsible for the big surprises in this Champions League season. The winning streak of the underdogs from Norway has made major headlines in recent weeks.

During the five consecutive victories, the same starting eleven was always on the field. Bodø coach Kjetil Knutsen is once again relying on the same eleven in today’s second leg against Sporting. The English would say: "Never change a running system." According to the data portal 'Opta', Bodø has now set a new Champions League record.

In the history of the competition, no team has ever fielded the same starting eleven in six consecutive matches.

That seems almost unbelievable, considering that consistency has been a major factor for many of the great successful teams in the past. And yet, in 2026, it is still a new record. In Norway, and especially in Bodø, this eleven is already legendary.
