The giant killers from Klaksvik

The tiny football club Klaksvik from the Faroe Islands are guaranteed (at least) Europa League group stage football.

The team from a town with 5,000 people played 0-0 vs Ferencvaros, the champions from Hungary and they beat them 3-0 in the return leg in Budapest.

They then went on to beat the Swedish champions Häcken after penalty shootout and even if they lose the final CL qualifier to the Norwegian champions Molde, they’ll be playing in the Europe League group stages.

Their keeper Jonatan Johansson (no, not that JJ) left football just over a year ago.

He then decided that he missed it, so he started playing again. This time as a centre back for a team in the Norwegian 5th tier!

Klaksvik then signed him as an emergency keeper and the rest is history.
