17 degrees Celsius. This is Tuesday’s temperature in the “Eternal City”. The Lazio players and coach Marco Baroni will soon prove to the supporters and the football world that the loss against Bodø/Glimt was due to a weather shock and not a Glimt shock.
Although Kjetil Knutsen and the Glimt players got the perfect imperfect conditions for hot-blooded Lazio players, the superstar Pedro was the first to admit that Bodø/Glimt were better and deservedly won. The BBC had a colourful match report from this match “north of the Arctic circle“, where the English media saw no reason for Lazio to complain about the weather and pitch conditions. Bodø/Glimt simply outplayed the Serie A club, where the Italians got away cheaply.

Then back to 17 degrees in Rome. Lazio welcomes Bodø/Glimt for the second leg, where the elite league club enters the Italian capital brimming with confidence, a 2-0 lead and with a yellow-clad horde on their way to Roma as supporters.
The Lazio players felt the punch at Aspmyra, they will also see, hear and feel it at the Stadio Olimpico. Bodø Nu reports that there are already 1033 Glimt supporters who have booked tickets for the second leg on Thursday.
Bodø/Glimt may not bring the weather to Rome, but the supporters will make sure that there is a real yellow wind blowing from the stands. A wind that sends Bodø/Glimt to a historic Europa League semi-final.
