It’s all to play for against Atletico Madrid on Tuesday night, as Club Brugge visit the Riyadh Air Metropolitano, Madrid buoyed by Christos Tzolis’ late equaliser in last week’s first leg.
A back-and-forth contest between the Belgians and Atlético Madrid ended 3–3 thanks to Tzolis’ 89th-minute strike, and Ivan Leko’s side are now aiming to repeat their playoff heroics from last season in the Spanish capital.
Then led by Nicky Hayen, Brugge upset Europa League holders Atalanta 3–1 in Bergamo to advance into the Champions League round of 16 as 5–2 aggregate winners.
Tuesday’s challenge is undoubtedly a stiffer one, but Atléti’s unpredictability offers the away side hope.
Once again, Diego Simeone’s side were leaky in defence at the weekend, conceding twice as Espanyol came to town. Fortunately, they were ruthless at the other end of the pitch to return to winning ways in La Liga. Brugge, meanwhile, have claimed three successive domestic victories since losing 1–0 to Union Saint-Gilloise at the start of the month.
