Then it was done. Another absolutely wild game by the gang from Aspmyra. 3-1 win in the first playoff game. Manchester City. Atletico Madrid. Inter Milan. The Serie A leader received the same treatment from Bodø/Glimt in the Champions League. Even Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher now understands the Norwegian club deserves more respect, while French legend Thierry Henry has ceased to be surprised.
“Are you actually surprised?” Unfortunately, this is how the situation is now in Italian football,” Henry begins in the CBS studio. Jamie Carragher is not the type to pay much attention to smaller clubs, and the Englishman sits and shakes his head.

“It’s a huge shock when you see the name Bodø/Glimt against Inter Milan,” Carragher said.
“It may be surprising. But when you look at the latest results of Bodø/Glimt, is that actually it? They have done it at home. They’ve done it away,” Thierry Henry continues.
Then comes the “admission” from Carragher:
“But then you look at it as a football game, and see some of the goals Bodø/Glimt scored, the quality of some of the goals – especially the first one, the teams they have beaten this season. Yes, it’s still a shock, but they still play like a very good Champions League team. That’s what they feel like, and maybe we need to give them a little more respect,” says the Liverpool legend.
Thierry Henry understood it already after the Manchester City game, now the realization has finally come to Carragher. Bodø/Glimt is a club with a “soul”, the coach, players and supporters who have built themselves up to be able to beat absolutely everyone!
