Bernardo Palmeiro on Sporting v Bodø/Glimt: Every team has struggled | OneFootball

Sporting learned this Friday who their opponent will be in the Champions League round of 16, with the draw setting up a clash with Bodø/Glimt. In response to the pairing, the general director of the lions' football team, Bernardo Palmeiro, emphasized the expected difficulty against the Norwegian team, highlighting the opponent's recent European journey.

"First of all, we are very happy to have reached this stage. We always knew it would be difficult with Real Madrid or Bodo/Glimt. If we notice, everyone has had difficulties playing in Norway. Let's also see what they did in Milan and how they eliminated Inter. We will have to give our best to advance," he stated.

When asked to comment on the possibility of facing Real Madrid, Bernardo Palmeiro preferred to refocus on the immediate challenge: "We are now only focused on the game with Bodo/Glimt, to get the best possible result from that game and move on to the next stage."

In the same draw, the green and whites also learned that, should they overcome the Norwegian opponent, they will face either Arsenal or Bayer Leverkusen in the quarter-finals of the prestigious competition, who will also be battling it out in the 'round of 16'.
