Bodo Glimt crashed out of the Champions League last night after suffering a 5-0 defeat to Sporting Lisbon (5-3 on aggregate). Their Champions League run has been incredible this season, all from a small club in the north of Norway.

In this week’s episode of INMR PODCAST, I broke down the tactics behind their run and explain why it wasn’t luck, but exceptional coaching and structure.
