Bruges wants to create the feat
A football match is never played in advance, and the Blues had the bitter experience of it this summer against Switzerland during the Euro (sorry for this bad memory, I promise this is the last allusion to this Euro which has never existed). But it’s hard not to make PSG the huge favorite of the evening. However, the Parisians will have to be wary of their opponents of the day, in form at the start of the season.
Philippe Clement’s men are first in the Belgian championship (4 wins, 2 draws, 1 loss), and the coach assured him at a press conference, they do not intend to close the game tonight in front of their audience. “We’re not going to stay eleven in our area for 90 minutes. We want to create opportunities and score goals, we have worked with this in mind. “
A philosophy of play that has paid off since the start of the season, evidenced by the 3-0 victory against Oostende last Friday. But that can also have limits, as during the beating inflicted by Gent two weeks earlier (6-1).
To achieve the feat, Bruges will count as since the start of the season on a few well-known names, such as goalkeeper Simon Mignolet, who passed through Liverpool. Facing Neymar, Mbappé and other Neymar, it will be the young Noa Lang (22), author of three goals since the start of the season, who will have to lead his family to victory. The Dutchman had scored 17 goals for Brugge in 2020/2021, and is already four this year.
