The Norwegian side are thrilled with their achievement, with midfielder Patrick Berg stating, "We are so incredibly proud." Berg's teammate Sondre Auklend expressed a preference for Barcelona, saying, "If I had to choose, I would maybe say Barcelona. That would be really historic." Team captain Patrick Berg also shared Auklend's enthusiasm, saying, "Barcelona or Real Madrid. That would be fantastic."
Coach Kjetil Knutsen, however, remained cautious, saying, "It's always nice to get to know new teams and there are some very good teams in the draw. But you're going to play against good teams regardless of the draw." The team will now focus on preparing for the Champions League, with midfielder Fredrik Bjørkan stating, "We need to let it sink in. It's an unbelievable day for us."
