Bruges, last season's First Division winner, has been able to compete in the Champions League this season, with Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain and RB Leipzig in Group A. In the first round of the group stage, Brugge created a cold goal, forcing a 1-1 home draw with Messi, Neymar and Mbappe in the big Paris.
After the game, Brugge goalkeeper Mignolet also choked on the Paris Big 3, saying the game was too easy. Unfortunately, Bruges was a tiger, the last round of 1-4 tragic revenge by Paris Saint-Germain, 6 rounds after 1 win, 1 draw and 4 losses, with 4 points at the bottom out, nothing was fished.
However, back in Belgium, Bruges' advantages are still obvious. They beat Will County 3-0, Ohawari 4-1 and Henri De Lecht 2-2. In this campaign, Brugge met Ohawari again, and as a result, he played another 4-1!

In the 92nd minute, Vanaken's whistle-blowing goal was the icing on the cake, the score was fixed at 4-1, and Bruges easily advanced to the final four! In just eight days, Bruges have doubled Owahari in the league and cup matches, scoring eight goals in both matches.
In addition, Bruges are unbeaten in four consecutive matches in all competitions, scoring 13 goals, averaging more than 3 goals per game, and the attack is fierce. Obviously, a bottom-of-the-champions league exit hasn't had much of an impact on Bruges, who have the hope of hitting the title in both the league and the cup.

It is reported that Clement is also a favorite for the next manager of the Belgian national team, and after next year's World Cup, he is expected to succeed Martinez and coach the European Red Devils.
