Bodø/Glimt’s incredible stats from their historic achievement 🤯 | OneFootball

The story before our eyes.

This Tuesday night of the Champions League is likely to remain long in the memory of all football fans.

FK Bodø/Glimt, a Norwegian club from a small town of 50,000 inhabitants, which is playing its very first Champions League this season, won 2-1 on the field of Inter Milan, the current finalist of the competition and current leader of Serie A, thus qualifying for the round of 16 of the Champions League for the first time in its history.

A historic feat that will undoubtedly be remembered and has thus produced many completely crazy statistics.

Already, Bodø/Glimt has only become the second Norwegian team in history to reach the round of 16 of the Champions League, after Rosenborg in 1996/97.

Even more incredible, to reach these playoffs against Inter, Bodø/Glimt consecutively beat Manchester City (3-1) and Atlético de Madrid (2-1). Adding these two magnificent victories to the two against Inter (3-1 and 2-1), the Norwegian club became the very first club in history not to be part of the five major European leagues to win four consecutive matches against opponents from this continental top-5, in European Cups.

Never in history had a Portuguese or Dutch club achieved such a feat, for example!

And that's not all!

Last year's finalist, Inter Milan has just been eliminated in the knockout phase of the Champions League by a team outside these five major leagues for the very first time in its history.

Bodø/Glimt didn't just defeat anyone!

Is this the greatest feat in the history of the Champions League according to you?
