Bodø/Glimt delivered one of the Champions League's greatest upsets, defeating a depleted Manchester City 3-1 in Norway. Kasper Høgh scored twice in the first half, with Jens Hauge adding a third, before Rayan Cherki's late consolation for City. The defeat came just days after their derby loss to Manchester United, compounding Pep Guardiola's misery.

City, missing 11 senior players, looked disjointed from the start. Inexperienced defenders Abduokodir Khusanov and Alleyne made costly errors, allowing Bodø's rapid counter-attacks to flourish. Erling Haaland was kept quiet on his return to Norway, and the night worsened when Rodri, the 2024 Ballon d'Or winner, was sent off for two quick yellow cards in the second half.

For the Norwegian debutants, based in a town of 55,000, this was a historic first-ever Champions League victory. The result leaves City in a precarious position, facing a crucial final match against Galatasaray next week. Bodø/Glimt, meanwhile, proved that even the mightiest clubs can be humbled on a cold night in the Arctic Circle.
