The band coached by Pep Guardiola (55 years old) was unrecognizable at the Arctic Circle, and in the 58th minute there was already a no-show score.

“Citizens” also ticked off a negative record following this totally unexpected failure, taking into account the value of the lots of the two teams.

The first half was a nightmare for Guardiola's side, “electrocuted” in the space of two minutes.

Kasper Hogh (25 years old) opened the scoring in the 22nd minute, for him to make the “double” immediately (24').

Evjen's goal canceled due to VAR intervention due to offside (52') heralded the 3-0 goal that Jens Hauge would score (58'). Cherki reduced the gap for City in the 60th minute, but in the next phase Rodri was sent off, and the Premier League team could not get anything from this match.

The setback saw Manchester City become the first English side ever to lose to Bodo/Glimt in a major European competition, according to Squawka.

Bodo/Glimt's record against English teams in the Europa League and Champions League:

I know how good Bodo/Glimt is, I didn't underestimate them; last season's semi-final in the Europa League is still fresh in our minds, and we've also had a few injuries to key players. I fought 10 against 11.

We have a feeling that lately a lot of things are going wrong in the details and we need to try to change that.
