History has been made at the San Siro! On Tuesday, February 24, 2026, Norwegian minnows Bodø/Glimt completed one of the greatest upsets in Champions League history, defeating Inter Milan 2–1 (5–2 on aggregate) to reach the Round of 16 for the first time ever.
While Inter dominate Serie A with a 10-point lead, they had no answer for the clinical efficiency and tactical discipline of Kjetil Knutsen’s side over two legs.
The Match Breakdown: Silence at the San Siro
The First Leg Hangover: Inter entered the night trailing 3–1 from the first leg in the Arctic Circle. Despite a raucous home crowd, the breakthrough never came in the first half.
58’ - The Heartbreaker : A defensive lapse from Manuel Akanji allowed Jens Petter Hauge (a former AC Milan player!) to pounce. After an initial save from
Yann Sommer, Hauge buried the rebound to silence his former rivals' home ground.
72’ - The Dagger : Håkon Evjen put the tie beyond doubt, lashing home a perfectly placed shot after a brilliant assist from Hauge.
76’ - Too Little, Too Late : Alessandro Bastoni bundled the ball over the line to give Inter a glimmer of hope, but the Norwegian "Yellow Horde" held firm for the final 15 minutes.
History Maker: Bodø/Glimt are the first Norwegian team to reach the Champions League knockout stages since the competition's rebrand in 1992. They achieved this during their domestic off-season!
The Verdict: Inter's European dream ends in heartbreak, leaving them to focus solely on the Scudetto race. For Bodø/Glimt, this isn't just a win—it's a statement that the "League of Talents" extends far beyond the traditional big five.
