A scandal in the Champions League, a player after a defeat in the tunnel hit an employee of the opposing club?A highly contentious match between Norwegian club Bodø/Glimt and Belgian Union Saint-Gilloise in the third qualifying round of the Champions League featured dramatic football action, including 11 goals and two red cards. The decisive moment came late in the second leg in Norway, where Bodø/Glimt won 3-2 to advance 6-5 on aggregate. However, after the match, a staff member of Bodø/Glimt reportedly was physically assaulted in a tunnel by someone associated with the opposing team. According to Norwegian media outlet VG, which cited local portal Bodø Nu, the incident occurred after the game. Club spokesperson Simon Pedersen declined to comment further but noted that UEFA has its own delegate who would have observed the event and submitted a report.

The incident has drawn attention away from the football itself, especially as Bodø/Glimt now faces Dutch side NEC in the next stage of the competition.
