The only previous meetings Bodø/Glimt and Internazionale came in the 1978-79 Cup Winners’ Cup, with the Italian side winning both legs for a 7-1 aggregate victory (5-0 at home, 2-1 away).

This will be just the second UEFA Champions League knockout stage tie played between sides from Norway (Bodø/Glimt) and Italy (Internazionale), after Juventus’ elimination of Rosenborg in the quarter-finals of the 1996-97 edition (3-1 on aggregate).
