President Lisa Klaveness: “It is also one of the most surprising performances and results in the modern history of the Champions League”
“Another extraordinary result for a Norwegian team away in Milan”, underlines Lisa Klaveness, the president of the Norwegian Football Federation, at San Siro alongside the UEFA president Ceferin and the deputy general secretary Marchetti for Inter-Bodo. “Beating Inter at San Siro and winning 5-2 on aggregate is one of the greatest successes in the history of Norwegian club football. I believe it is also one of the most surprising performances and results in the modern history of the Champions League,” adds Klaveness.

Norway is becoming a nightmare for Italy: double knockout with the national team on their way to the World Cup, Bodo eliminating Lazio in the last Europa League and Inter now from the Champions League. Only Juve managed to beat the yellows and they even did it in their stadium. On Thursday Bologna will try to close the score with Brann in the Europa League. Klaveness concludes: “It’s an impressive experience for a small town of 50,000 inhabitants north of the Arctic Circle. I’m very happy for my old teacher Kjetil Knudsen (the coach, ed.), his players, the club and the region of Northern Norway. This club, its staff and its players are role models for small clubs across Europe.”
