We praised Bodø/Glimt last season for the shock waves they sent through football Europe when one after the other big club had to give up. On Thursday, we saw that it was no coincidence. The Bodø club with Kjetil Knutsen at the helm has built a foundation that really gives weight to the turf – regardless of star players who are sold every single year. The Sturm Graz gang, like Jose Mourinho, will never forget the yellow horde at Aspmyra.
With them out of Bodø, the players and the coach of the Austrian big team heard singing into the late hours of the night. Doubtful that they understood the words, but it sounded like “Damn, it’s lovely this”.

When the party dies down in Bodø city, sometime after the weekend, the supporters get ready for the second leg. If Glimt avoid squandering the 5-0 lead, the club and Norway will be back in the Champions League group stage for the first time since Rosenborg’s last round in 2007.
No reason to advance in advance, but there is every reason to celebrate Bodø/Glimt’s overrun of Sturm Graz this week. Raw!
