Champions League Upset as Inter Eliminated

Norway’s Bodo/Glimt achieved one of the biggest upsets in recent Champions League history on Tuesday, February 24, 2026. The team defeated last season’s runners-up Inter Milan 2-1 at the San Siro stadium in Italy. With this result, Bodo/Glimt advanced to the last 16 with an impressive 5-2 win on aggregate over two matches.

The Norwegian club had already shocked football fans last week by beating Inter Milan 3-1 in the first leg at home in Norway. That strong performance gave them confidence going into the second leg in Milan. Despite playing away from home against one of Europe’s top teams, Bodo/Glimt showed great determination and skill to secure another victory.

Bodo/Glimt, a relatively small club located north of the Arctic Circle, have now made history by reaching the knockout stages of Europe’s top club competition. Their success has been praised as one of the most remarkable achievements by a smaller European club in recent years.

In other Champions League matches, Newcastle United, Atletico Madrid, and Bayer Leverkusen also qualified for the last 16. These teams secured their places after strong performances in their respective knockout play-off ties.

The results mean that several major clubs have progressed, but Bodo/Glimt’s victory over Inter Milan stands out as the biggest surprise of the round. Football fans across Europe have applauded the Norwegian side for their fearless and disciplined display.
