LONDON (AP) — Six-time winner Bayern Munich hosts last season’s surprise package Bodø/Glimt and upstart Como makes its debut against Leipzig in the Champions League on Thursday.
Bodø/Glimt is coming off a run to the last 16 that included victories over Manchester City, Atletico Madrid and Inter Milan. The tiny Norwegian club has already come through two rounds of qualifying to reach the league phase again.
