Club Brugge

They join KAA Gent in representing Belgium in the history of UCL knockout stage.

Gent fell at the hands of VfL Wolfsburg back in 2016 and Brugge stand to face much tougher opponents in this current edition, but the future aim will be to keep emerging from the group. Brugge are now the second club from Belgium to reach the UCL knockout phase after KAA Gent in 2015-16 which was the season Blauw Zwart won the first of their five titles these past seven years. Yet arguably the most critical element is a Belgian spine featuring goalkeeper Simon Mignolet, defenders Dedryck Boyata and Brandon Mechele, as well as influential midfielder Hans Vanaken. Despite being the all-time most titled Croky Cup winners with 11 triumphs to their name, FCB have only won it twice since 2005 and have done the double each of their last four wins. Underpinning the vibrant young core is an array of established internationals such as Canada's Cyle Larin, Ukraine's Roman Yaremchuk and Dane Casper Nielsen. Not only does the point taken by Carl Hoefkens' men make life very difficult for Atleti in terms of escaping from Group B, but it also guarantees the Belgians a historic knockout stage berth.

Club Brugge are dropping deeper and deeper. Griezmann shoots on the volley and Mignolet palms it out to the Argentine to tap in but he is offside but he shouldn't be looking along the line. And now it is all kicking off regarding what Atleti think is handball in the box (it's a shoulder) pushing and shoving is going on the Savic is booked for his part in the fight. Griezmann is in and looks to chip Mignolet on the volley as the ball is high but the ex-Liverpool stopper blocks it. They know a draw sends them through and the closer they get to full-time the more they seem to be happier with a draw. Mechele cuts out a cross destined for Morata and it drops from the sky to Nielsen and he doesn't kick the ball with his clearance - just the air - before finally whacking it out.
