Champions League will be tough for Bodo/Glimt. In my opinion, if they were playing in the Europa League or the Conference League with their current style of play they could have had a real chance of success, but here it looks difficult.

It wouldn’t be entirely accurate to judge their overall level just based on the Sturm Graz match, because Sturm Graz is known as a team that both concedes and scores goals easily. I don’t think Bodø/Glimt will be able to achieve such comfortable victories in the Champions League. Maybe there could be 1–2 matches like that, but not consistently.

I agree, there's no safe place for teams from the smaller leagues in the UCL. They were indeed celebrating because they managed to destroy Sturm Graz & with the result in the first leg, we were all sure they could go through the second leg easily.

When they're in UCL, we'll start to see their bad results & performances, but it's better than them only playing in UEL & UECL, because UCL is the highest competition.

Well football is quite bigger than that now because there are some teams that are very stubborn and even if they come to the Champions League other big teams will definitely feel their pressure to a point because as it is now in football I don't think there is any small team available and even the likes of bodo will indeed cause minor or even major upset to some of the big teams.

All teams that qualify for the Champions League have the potential to surprise. We should never underestimate these teams, as every team will have worked incredibly hard to get there. They will be competing against teams that are aware of the Champions League and players who value it. The players understand how important the Champions League is. It may be a tournament that will impact their future. That's why they're working tirelessly to play well. This is the main factor that gives every team the potential to surprise.
