“There were many great teams in the pots, so I think it’s good. It’s funny to meet a team we’ve never faced. I think it was a good draw and it will be exciting. We’ve played against Sp. Braga and FC Porto, but never against Sporting. It’s going to be very good,” Thomassen stated to TV2 in Norway.

Patrick Solberg, leader of the Bodo/Glimt supporters’ group, also expressed his joy upon learning that the team will have the chance to compete against Sporting. “Many of us have already traveled to watch football in England.

I think I speak for many when I say that Sporting is a dream draw,” Solberg commented to the newspaper VG.
Bodo/Glimt has shown impressive performances on the European stage, having eliminated the giant Inter from Milan to reach this stage.
