Inter Milan defender Yann Bisseck blamed bad luck for last night’s heartbreaking Champions League defeat to Bodo/Glimt.
Speaking to CBS Sports Golazo via FCInterNews, the German star insisted that the ‘football Gods’ turned against the Nerazzurri yesterday.
Bodo/Glimt headed into proceedings confident of progressing following a 3-1 first-leg victory on home turf.
However, preserving that lead at San Siro was never going to be a simple task.
Indeed, Kjetil Knutsen’s side had to endure a siege, with Inter throwing everything that had at goalkeeper Nikita Haikin.
Unfortunately, just one of Inter’s 30 shots found its way in, while the visitors took two of their three chances to clinch another stunning win.
As a result, Cristian Chivu can now focus on getting the job done in Serie A, where the Nerazzurri sit comfortably ten points clear at the summit.
Still, Bodo/Glimt gave the runaway Serie A leaders a bitter pill to swallow.

Bisseck is still unable to accept the outcome, insisting that luck wasn’t on Inter’s side.
“I don’t agree with those who talk about ‘losing to a club like Bodo/Glimt,’ that’s not accurate,” Bisseck said. “Bodo had a solid plan, they executed it well, and they were well-prepared. I give them my best compliments. We expected more, but sometimes the gods of football say, ‘not today.’
“It’s one of those days when the ball just won’t go in. We created a lot, but the goalkeeper and defenders were always in the right places,” the German added. “I can’t blame any of my teammates – the ball just didn’t want to go in.
“We can still be proud of our effort because to stay under pressure and keep trying until the end deserves recognition, but it didn’t work out, and we’ll try again next year.
“It’s a tough blow; of course, you never want to lose, especially at a club where you expect to go as far as possible in a tournament. However, all big clubs face early exits sometimes, and this year it happened to us.
“I believe that in the long run, we’ll learn from this match and come back stronger.”
