Bodo/Glimt Stun Manchester City 3-1 for First Champions League Win as City’s Top-Eight Bid Wobbles

The upset puts City’s automatic last-16 place at risk ahead of Galatasaray, with Rodri suspended and key players missing.

Overview

  • Kasper Høgh scored twice in the 22nd and 24th minutes before Jens Petter Hauge added a superb third, with Rayan Cherki providing City’s lone reply.
  • Captain Rodri was dismissed for two bookings in roughly a minute and will miss the Galatasaray finale through suspension.
  • The result delivers Bodø/Glimt their first Champions League victory and leaves City vulnerable to slipping outside the top eight in the league phase.
  • Pep Guardiola’s side traveled with a heavily depleted group — reports cited 11 senior absences — and a youthful defense made costly errors on the first two goals.
  • Erling Haaland’s slump continued with just one goal in his past eight games, as Guardiola said City must “change the dynamic.”
