Quick-fire Nightmare: Bodø/Glimt Stuns Manchester City with Early Doubles in the Champions League

Quick-fire double stuns City in Champions League clash

Manchester City were stunned as Bodø/Glimt struck twice in the opening 24 minutes of their Champions League group match, taking a 2-0 lead.

The Danish forward Kasper opened the scoring in the 22nd minute and doubled the advantage two minutes later, giving the visitors a swift, unsettling edge.

According to Opta, this is the fastest double by a single player against City in a Champions League game since April 2019, when Heung-min Son scored twice after just 10 minutes for Tottenham.

That 2019 tie finished 4-3 to City in the return leg of the semi-final, but Spurs advanced on away goals—a rule later scrapped. The evening offered a reminder that European nights still deliver surprises, even to a club of City’s stature.

P.S. If you’re keeping score at home, Bodø/Glimt just handed City a memory they’ll replay in the highlights reel for years. And yes, the internet still loves a good upset, especially when it starts with a Danish double.
