Bodø/Glimt visits Bayern Munich and upstart Como makes its Champions League debut

Bayern Munich, a six-time winner, will face last season's surprise package Bodø/Glimt in the Champions League on Thursday. Bodø/Glimt, a Norwegian club, has made a remarkable comeback, reaching the last 16 with victories over Manchester City, Atletico Madrid, and Inter Milan. The team has already advanced through two rounds of qualifying to secure its Champions League spot once again.

Bayern, who finished second in the scoring chart last season with Harry Kane, was eliminated by Paris Saint-Germain in the semifinals. Meanwhile, upstart Como, a Serie A team, makes its Champions League debut after finishing fourth ahead of Juventus and AC Milan last season. This marks Como's first time in continental competition since its formation seven years ago, having risen from the fourth division of Italian soccer.
