Bodø/Glimt: Success Doesn't Require a Fortune

Bodø/Glimt have secured their place in the Champions League Round of 16, an achievement made even more impressive by their low wage bill.

Kjetil Knutsen's team, which was playing in the Norwegian second division until 2017, eliminated Inter Milan with a 5-2 aggregate score.

Bodø/Glimt recorded victories against Borussia Dortmund, Manchester City, Atlético Madrid, and Inter Milan, securing their qualification for the Round of 16, where they will face Sporting or Manchester City again.

Bodø is the first team outside England, Spain, Germany, Italy or France to win four consecutive games against teams from Europe's top five leagues since Johan Cruyff's Ajax in 1971-72.

The club's total wage bill amounts to just €176,000 per week, less than the salaries of players like Mateo Kovačić, Noni Madueke, and Federico Chiesa.
