Club Brugge players celebrate reaching the knockout stages of the Champions LeagueTwo rounds before the end of the group stage, Brugge scored 10 points. Porto is in second place with 6 points, Atlético is in third with 4, Bayer is in fourth with 3. Thus, given that Atlético and Porto are still waiting for a face-to-face match, below second place is Brugge ' won't go down.
Note that Brugge for the first time in the history of the club reached the playoffs of the Champions League. At the same time when this tournament existed as the European Cup, the Belgian team once reached the 1/8 finals in it (in 1991), and this is so far the highest achievement of Brugge in European competition.
We add that both Ukrainian legionnaires of Brugge - forward Roman Yaremchuk and defender Eduard Sobol - did not take part in the historic match of their current team with Atlético. Both of these performers spent the entire game on the bench.
