Bodø/Glimt one match away from the Champions League upset of the century? | OneFootball

Historic evening?

This Tuesday evening, Inter and Bodø/Glimt face off in the second leg of the playoff to reach the Champions League round of 16.

The Norwegian club won 3-1 in the first leg and is thus just one match away from a historic achievement.

As the first Norwegian club in history to reach the semi-finals of a European cup last season, in the Europa League, FK Bodø/Glimt could, in its very first participation, reach the round of 16 of the most prestigious competition by eliminating Inter, the current title finalist and current leader of Serie A!

Even crazier, to reach the playoffs, the Norwegian team defeated, back-to-back, Manchester City (3-1) and Atlético Madrid (2-1).

To sum up, in a few hours we could have a Norwegian club qualified for the Champions League round of 16, in its very first participation, thanks to:

- a victory against the 2023 edition winner

- a victory on Atlético Madrid's turf

- a qualification against the current title finalist and current leader of the Italian championship.

Honestly, isn't this the craziest thing in the history of the Champions League?
