1-1 until halftime. Then it turned yellow. When you as a club are given a 1.5 percent chance of advancing from the league stage in the Champions League – and respond by beating Manchester City – then Atletico Madrid away from home – then it is not a hint on the part of Kjetil Knutsen or the players to be a starter, when the club that has been in two Champions League finals in the last three years stands as the opponent. An Italian newspaper now calls it an achievement – if Inter Milan are to manage to turn around the 3-1 loss at the San Siro.
“Bodø is hell, Inter also loses. The second leg will require a feat, writes the major newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport.

The Italian newspaper has not only covered the Atletico Madrid match, where Kjetil Knutsen and the Bodø/Glimt players outsmarted Diego Simeone and Atletico Madrid at the Wanda Metropolitano, an away win that was supposed to be completely impossible. Italians have fresh memories of what Norwegians do at the San Siro.
Three months ago, the whole of Italy sat paralyzed by football shock after a 1-4 loss against Norway, in the match Italy was supposed to show the world that a 3-0 loss at Ullevaal was just an accident at work.
As La Gazzetta dello Sports so correctly put it: The second leg against the “hell from Bodø” will require a feat to win. Or an ever so small “football miracle”. Bodø/Glimt rules!
