How Norwegian club Viking became the talk of Europe

Norwegian side Viking secured a memorable draw against Bayern Munich in the Champions League after netting three goals, an achievement chief executive Eirik Bjorno and sporting director Erik Nevland described as the greatest moment in the club's history. The dramatic fixture featured a late equalizer and an opponent red card for Michael Olise, which subsequently provoked an angry reaction from Bayern board member Max Eberl regarding Viking captain Zlatko Tripic.

For Nevland, who previously played for Manchester United and Fulham, leading his hometown club onto Europe's biggest stage fulfills a lifelong ambition that comes years after enduring a demoralizing 5-0 defeat in the second tier.
