Head coach of FC Bude-Glimt Kjetil Knutsen He shared his feelings after his team’s crazy victory over Manchester City (3:1) in the seventh round of the Champions League main stage.

“I feel incredible! I think we played a very good game today and we knew we were playing against a top-notch team. First of all, we had to defend well: we couldn’t give them much space in the middle of the pitch and we had to work together as a team of 11 players.

We won the ball in advantageous areas, which allowed us to counter-attack. I think we are very strong when the opponent gives us space and we scored incredible goals today.

Jens Geuge is a great actor. He enjoys playing in the best matches against the best teams and the best opponents. It was very good today. But as always, this is football and it is important to be strong together here and he is part of a good team.

We are looking forward to the next match. This is a new challenge; again an away game against the best team in Spain (Atlético – ed.). We need to take our self-confidence and the way we stick together from this match. Football always has opportunities even if you are from a small town like Bodo. So we are just waiting for this game and I think we have everything we need to win,” said Knutsen.

In the current Champions League, Bude-Glimt is in 27th place in the Champions League standings with 6 tournament points after 7 matches played.
