Atletico Madrid Eliminates Inter Milan in UCL Upset
In a surprising turn of events, Atletico Madrid eliminated Inter Milan from the UEFA Champions League, winning 7-4 on aggregate. Alexand Sorloth's hat trick was pivotal in securing Atletico's advancement to the Round of 16.
The match saw Inter Milan, last season's semifinalists, capitulate after a strong first half. An error by Inter's defender Manuel Akanji allowed Jen Petter Haug to score the opening goal for Bodo Glimt in the 58th minute, followed by Hakon Evj's second goal in the 72nd minute.
This victory marked Bodo Glimt's knockout round debut, making them the first Norwegian team to reach this phase since Rosenborg in 1997. Atletico Madrid's impressive run included four consecutive wins in the competition, showcasing their resilience under coach Diego Simeone.
The defeat for Inter Milan marks their first exit from the UEFA Champions League group phase since 2021.
