Bodo/Glimt's participation in the Champions League concluded on Tuesday night. The Norwegian champions suffered a 3-1 defeat against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium, resulting in a 5-2 aggregate loss. Erling Haaland scored twice for the hosts before the interval, while Julian Alvarez added a third in the second half. Kasper Hogh scored the solitary goal for the visitors, according to The Guardian.
The result ends a campaign where Bodo/Glimt became the first Norwegian side to reach the knockout stages of the competition in over 20 years. Kjetil Knutsen's team progressed through three qualifying rounds and the league phase to reach this stage. Despite the exit, the club earned approximately £25m in prize money and television coefficients during the tournament, per Sky Sports. Manchester City now progress to the quarter-final draw scheduled for Friday. Bodo/Glimt return to domestic action as they prepare for the upcoming Eliteserien season, which commences in April. The club remains the highest-ranked Scandinavian team in the current UEFA coefficient standings.
