Bodo/Glimt won 2-1 to seal a 5-2 aggregate victory in the playoffs and secure their place in the round of 16.

Atletico had been held to a 3-3 draw by Club Brugge last week but they ran out 4-1 winners in Tuesday's return to advance 7-4 on aggregateNorway's Bodo/Glimt pulled off one of the most remarkable results in modern Champions League history on Tuesday, beating last season’s runners-up Inter Milan 2-1 at San Siro to reach the last 16 with a 5-2 aggregate triumph, while Newcastle United, Atletico Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen also went through.
Bodo/Glimt, the modest outfit from north of the Arctic Circle, were looking to follow up their stunning 3-1 win last week in Norway in the first leg of their knockout phase playoff tie.
Inter, the three-time European champions who are currently 10 points clear at the top of Serie A, were expected to pummel their visitors in an attempt to turn the tie around. But Bodo/Glimt survived at the back before finishing off the tie in the second half.
Jens Petter Hauge, who played for AC Milan in 2020/21, gave his team the lead just before the hour mark after a mistake by Manuel Akanji had allowed Ole Blomberg in for an initial shot which was saved.
