Inter beaten 2-1 and eliminated from the Champions League by Bodo/Glimt of former Milan player Hauge

Inter Milan has been knocked out of the Champions League after a 2-1 defeat to Bodo/Glimt, marking a disappointing outcome for Italian teams in the tournament.

Inter Milan, expected to be a strong contender in the Champions League, faced an unexpected defeat against Bodo/Glimt, a team from Norway, resulting in their elimination from the prestigious tournament. The match, held at the Meazza stadium, saw Inter struggling to convert numerous chances into goals despite controlling much of the play in the first half. Their inability to capitalize on opportunities ultimately cost them dearly as they were unable to break down Bodo/Glimt's defense.

In a crucial moment early in the second half, a mistake by Inter's defender Akanji allowed Bodo/Glimt's Blomberg to take the lead. Although Inter's goalkeeper Sommer managed to stop the initial shot, he could not prevent the follow-up tap-in from Hauge, who previously played for AC Milan, further complicating Inter's hopes for a comeback. Hauge's contributions didn’t stop there, as he also assisted Evjen for the second goal, effectively sealing the match in favor of the Norwegians.

Despite a last-minute goal from Inter that offered a glimmer of hope, the damage was already done as they finished the match with a 2-1 scoreline. This loss highlights the challenges faced by Italian teams in this season's Champions League, as they encounter early exits and underwhelming performances, calling into question their standing in European football as they move forward into future competitions.
