MILAN (ITALPRESS) – The stakes are high, as the winner will advance to the Champions League Round of 16. A standard objective if your name is Inter, extraordinary if you are Bodø/Glimt. Perhaps that is why the eve of the second leg is particularly tense, with the Norwegians holding a 3–1 advantage from the first match — a game which, according to the Inter camp, was influenced above all by the fact that it was played on an artificial pitch.

“I can’t do anything about it. City (beaten 3–1 in Bodø in the group stage, ed.) didn’t mention the pitch,”replied coach Kjetil Knutsen. “We’re not used to San Siro either, but I’m focused on other things.” The reference is to Manchester City, who were defeated in Norway earlier in the competition.
