Goaltender Henrry Staněk expressed his disappointment after the Champions League match against Bodö / Glimt, stressing that even his individual performance was not enough to ensure victory in Slavia Prague. He regretted the team’s mistakes, including loss of the 2-0 advantage and lack of concentration, personally blaming himself for this situation. Despite a solid performance, Staněk felt a deep disappointment, but said he had to focus on preparing for the next game in Liberec. He also mentioned the negative impact of the anti-sport behaviour of some opposing players, such as David Doudera, on the tension of the game.

The historic victory of Bodö / Glimt, marked by a goal of Daniel Bassi at the last minute, was widely relayed by the Norwegian media. This performance is compared to that of Zinédine Zidane in the 2002 Champions League final and represents an important moment for Norwegian football, as it is the first qualification of a Norwegian club in the Champions League since 2007. Glimt’s players have demonstrated great determination, overcoming the difficulties and provocations of some opponents.

The incident surrounding the penetration of a Slavia Prague player before the repair kick was particularly controversial, resulting in an extension of the game time due to the intervention of the video referee. This event exacerbated the frustration of supporters and was strongly criticized by Glimt’s coach, Kjetil Knutsen, who called Slavia’s behaviour “cynical”. Despite the disappointment, Staněk stressed the importance of game analysis to improve and committed to working hard to beat Liberec, while acknowledging the disappointment and shame felt after this game.
