Fun fact ahead of the Europa League semifinals: the population of Bodø, home of Bodø/Glimt, is 20,000 less than the capacity of Tottenham’s stadium.
Yet, this team from a cozy town by the Arctic Ocean has reached the Europa League semifinals. Along the way, they’ve beaten Braga, Beşiktaş, Twente, Olympiacos, and even Lazio. No stars, no mega-budget.
Analysts give them just a 30% chance of reaching the final—the lowest among the four teams. Still, those odds are impressive. Especially considering Bodø/Glimt’s squad is valued at €43 million.
For comparison:
– Tottenham: €836 million
– Manchester United: €699 million
– Athletic Bilbao: €367 million
Their next opponent’s squad is worth eight times more. How do they do it? Northern magic, no doubt. 1 reply
