Bodø/Glimt gets Sporting in Champions League round of 16. Real Madrid and Man City paired yet again

Bodø/Glimt hosts Sporting Lisbon after a strong Champions League run; Real Madrid and Manchester City meet in knockout phase for fifth consecutive year.

  • On Friday in Nyon, UEFA's round-of-16 draw paired Bodø/Glimt with Sporting Lisbon and set the seeded bracket through to the final on May 30 at Puskás Aréna, Budapest, while Real Madrid will meet Manchester City again.
  • Bodø/Glimt's surge owes much to their 3-1 win over Manchester City last month, sparking a four-win Champions League run. The club has beaten City and Inter at home and claimed away wins at Atletico and Inter, with key players Jens Petter Hauge, Kasper Høgh, and Håkon Evjen starring.
  • The draw also produced heavyweight ties such as Paris Saint-Germain against Chelsea, with the winner facing Liverpool or Galatasaray, while Bayern Munich meet Atalanta and Arsenal face Bayer Leverkusen.
  • First legs are set for March 10 or 11, with winners next month meeting in the quarterfinals where the Arsenal vs Bayer Leverkusen winner could face Bodø/Glimt or Sporting.
  • Looking at history, City and Real have an even record of five wins and five draws, making their next tie a tightly poised showdown between top stars.
