Man City suffer humiliating defeat as Norwegian side handed first Champions League win

On 20 January 2026, Manchester City lost 3‑1 to Norwegian Premier League club Bodø Glimt in the Champions League group stage at Ullevaal Stadium, Oslo. The first goal came from Bodø’s Roy Nykjaer in the 35th minute, followed by a second from Eirik Ulland Andersen five minutes later. City replied with a goal from Raheem Sterling, but a late strike by Bodø’s Kåre Veje sealed the result. English defender Rodri received two yellow cards within ten minutes, forcing the 2023‑24 Champions League holders to finish the final 30 minutes with ten men. The defeat eliminates City’s hopes of automatic qualification to the knockout phase and marks the Norwegian side’s first ever Champions League win.
