The Guardian described it as perhaps the biggest Champions League surprise of all time. That was last week. Then came a 1-2 win on Wednesday against Atletico Madrid at the Wanda Metropolitano. Legend Thierry Henry thinks it’s time to stop being surprised by Bodø/Glimt.
“Last year we talked about them as a curiosity from the north, but now? Now they are the most refreshing and bravest team in Europe. If I was one of the big clubs that are now going into the last eight, I would do everything to avoid facing them in a double-header. They make you run after the ball until you get dizzy,” Henry commented on CBS’s TV broadcast from Madrid.

“The most important thing here is Kjetil Knutsen.

He has made Bodø a power that the whole of Europe must respect now, boasts one of history’s best attacking players.
