There’s no time to rest – UCL today, domestic cup tomorrow afternoon

For years, there has been an established practice among clubs competing in Europe, whether in the qualifying rounds or the group stage, of having matches immediately before or after their European fixtures postponed. However, it seems Norwegian side Bodo/Glimt has yet to hear about this practice.Proof of that is the almost unbelievable fact that the team played two matches in less than 24 hours. To be precise, the gap between the two games was exactly 21 hours.🚨 𝗜𝗡𝗖𝗥𝗘𝗗𝗜𝗕𝗟𝗘: Bodø/Glimt are playing another competitive match today, less than 24 hours after their Champions League play-off. 🤯🇳🇴They are currently facing Fauske/Sprint in the Norwegian Cup and winning 2-0 😭 https://t.co/i9KL5mHgxp pic.twitter.com/rXZz1937xG— Football Tweet ⚽ (@Footballtweet) August 26, 2026 The current leaders of the Norwegian league played the second leg of their Champions League play-off against Dutch side NEC Nijmegen on Tuesday, and they made the task look remarkably routine, cruising to a 3-0 victory. Having already won the first leg 3-1, Bodo/Glimt secured a convincing 6-1 aggregate triumph to book their place once again in Europe's most prestigious competition.Yet, as we mentioned, their domestic commitments could not wait. Just a day later, Kjetil Knutsen's men were back on the pitch, this time away from home. And although the venue was different, the outcome was the same — another emphatic victory.##EDITORS_CHOICE##Five goals against FK Fauske only underlined this team's superiority, while also sending them through to the second round of the Norwegian Cup.Considering Bodo/Glimt's ability to claim two significant victories in less than 24 hours — regardless of the opposition in the Norwegian Cup — it is fair to expect that this team will be anything but an easy opponent for anyone they face in the Champions League.##NAJAVA_MECA_9915626##
