Internazionale’s first leg defeat to Bodø/Glimt was just the second suffered by an Italian side versus a Norwegian opponent in the European Cup/UEFA Champions League, after Milan against Rosenborg in December 1996 (1-2).

Bodø/Glimt are looking to become the first Norwegian side to progress in a knockout stage tie in the European Cup/UEFA Champions League since Lillestrøm in the first round in 1987-88 (v Linfield).

The last team to qualify from a two-legged UEFA Champions League knockout tie after a 2+ goal defeat in the first leg away from home was Liverpool in 2018-19 (v Barcelona in the semi-finals, 4-3 on aggregate). 11 other teams have found themselves in that scenario but failed to progress since Liverpool.

Bodø/Glimt could become the first team from outside of Europe’s big five leagues to win four consecutive games in a European Cup/UEFA Champions League campaign against opponents from those leagues (England, Spain, Germany, Italy & France) since Ajax in 1971-72, who won the European Cup that season.

Internazionale – who face a two-goal deficit from the first leg – have only won by 2+ goals in six of their 52 matches in the knockout stages in the UEFA Champions League and have never won a game by 3+ goals in the knockout stages of the competition.

Internazionale won their first four games in the UEFA Champions League under Christian Chivu but have since lost four of the last five (W1). Of managers with 5+ games in charge of Inter in the competition, Chivu now has the highest loss percentage (44% - 4/9).

Sondre Fet’s opener against Internazionale in the first leg was scored at the end of a 16-pass move; the longest leading to a Bodø/Glimt goal in the UEFA Champions League this season, as well as the longest in the lead up to a goal Inter have conceded in this edition.

Jens Petter Hauge has netted five goals for Bodø/Glimt in the UEFA Champions League this season; the joint-most by a Norwegian player for a Norwegian club in a single edition of the European Cup/Champions League, along with Frode Johnsen in 2000-01 and John Carew in 1999-00, both for Rosenborg.

Based on xG on target faced (excl. own goals) two of the three goalkeepers who have prevented the most goals in the UEFA Champions League this season are Bodø/Glimt’s Nikita Haikin (+4.6, ranked 1st) and Internazionale’s Yann Sommer (+2.6, ranked 3rd).

Alessandro Bastoni could become the first Italian to make 50 starts for Internazionale in the European Cup/UEFA Champions League (currently on 49), and just the fifth outfielder overall to reach 50 for them (after Javier Zanetti, Esteban Cambiasso, Iván Córdoba and Lautaro Martínez).
