Loss of income

It also means that the club will likely lose around NOK 100 million. A participation in the Champions League would probably net 250 million.

In the Europa League, Rosenborg received around 130 million last season, but with weak results. With better results, Molde can raise more.

– Proud of the boys

After a quiet opening in the match, it was Molde who had the chances throughout the match.

First, Magnus Wolff Eikrem was allowed to shoot free from 16 meters, but more, from the dream position.

After the break, Etzaz Hussain had an even bigger chance. But he got stressed from five meters and threw the ball through the roof.

With a quarter of an hour to go came an even greater opportunity. Molde made his way embroidering, and Eirik Hestad was alone with the archer, he went for the chip, but the archer saved.

Five minutes before the end, Ola Brynhildsen had a chance on the field, but ended up out.

– Actually, I’m proud of the boys. We played a good game away from home, but it’s not enough, Magnus Wolff Eikrem summed up for TV 2.

– We must all be disappointed tonight. When tomorrow we have to shake off Anyway, it will be a fun fall for us, coach Erling Moe tells TV 2.

This does not give Molde a chance to repeat his own adventure in the 1999 Champions League.

The number of years without Norwegian teams in the tournament is also increasing. Since Rosenborg was with the fall of 2007, a Norwegian team has not been in the Champions League group stage match.
