Bodo/Glimt stunned the world with a 2-1 win away against Inter Milan on Tuesday evening. Mayor Odd Emil Ingebrigtsen watched the match from home and is incredibly proud of the team's performance. He believes that the whole city is proud and that it's a big day for Bodø. Bodo/Glimt had barely any possession in the first half, but then they surprised everyone with the beautiful goal from Håkon Evjen. After that, the atmosphere in the room was filled with internal Nordland chatter. The mayor thinks that the team's success will lead to increased engagement and more tourists in the city. He also believes that Bodo/Glimt has shown that they can do what is actually impossible. The next step in the Champions League adventure is the round of 16, where Bodo/Glimt can meet Manchester City or Sporting Lisboa. The mayor hopes for Lisboa, as it's a bit warmer to travel to for an away game. He thinks that Bodo/Glimt can go far in the tournament, and that it's just as likely that they can reach the final as not. Bodo/Glimt has already shown that they are a team that can surprise and win against stronger opponents. The mayor promises a big celebration if Bodo/Glimt reaches the final. Bodo/Glimt has received a lot of attention after the win over Inter Milan, and the mayor believes that it's a great opportunity for the city to show itself as an attractive tourist destination. He thinks that Bodo/Glimt can become an ambassador for the city and region, and that the team's success can lead to increased interest in football and sports in general.
