A number of English journalists had found their way to Bodø. On Monday they were greeted by the Northern Lights, on Tuesday there was a full jaw dropping. Bodø/Glimt, with a Kasper Høgh who took on Erling Haaland’s goal celebration role, neutralized one of the world’s best clubs.
The Manchester Evening News reported at half-time: “City have been even worse than they were on Saturday (losing in the city derby). Bodø/Glimt can’t believe it. A huge second half is needed now.” There was no huge second half from the football multi-millionaires from the light blue part of Manchester.

– Bodø/Glimt have been phenomenal tonight!, reported the major newspaper The Guardian. NRK’s Carl-Erik Torp put it all in perspective: “It is almost against nature what Glimt has delivered here. Considering that they play in the Norwegian league, they are out of season … They last played on December 11 against Borussia Dortmund!”
Let’s put it into an even bigger perspective: This was Bodø/Glimt’s first Champions League win ever – and this against Manchester City. To understand how big this is what the team at Bodø/Glimt has achieved this January Tuesday 2026 with a 3-1 win against Manchester City, here is the line-up of opponent City:
Donnarumma, Lewis, Khusarov, Alleyne, Ait-Nouri, O’Reilly, Rodi, Rejnders, Cherki, Foden, Haaland (Marmoush, substitute)
