Club Brugge took shape for a long time at the start of the season in the Belgian Championship. Philippe Clement’s team suffered two defeats in three starting rounds. However, the mentor managed to correct the situation. After 10 rounds the black-blue are in second place in the table, losing only one point to the leader Antwerp. In the Champions League, Club Brugge had a great start. In the match with Zenit, the Belgian champion was considered a clear outsider, but managed to take three points. A 2:1 win in St. Petersburg put Club Brugge in second place in the table. After a tough away match, Club Brugge were defeated in the championship. Heverly Louvain gave an unpleasant surprise and won with a score of 2:1, extending the champion’s streak without wins to two matches.
Despite its small history, the German club is progressing every year. The past season, Leipzig can again add to their assets. In the Bundesliga, Julian Nagelsmann’s team (and it was he who was wooed to replace Solskjaer as head coach last season) finished in third position, just three points behind Borussia Dortmund. The Bulls also achieved historic success in the Champions League. After leaving the Leipzig group, each time they were exposed as an underdog in the confrontation with Tottenham and Atletico Madrid, but each time Nigelsmann found what to oppose to eminent clubs. Only in the semifinals of the tournament “Leipzig” was stopped by PSG (0:3). In the current draw, the German club started with a victory over Basaksehir (2:0). However, the Turkish team is unlikely to do the weather here. Tickets to the playoffs will be played out precisely in the confrontations between the Germans and Manchester United and PSG. Leipzig is in good shape for the fight with the Mankunians. The team have won their last four matches in a row, scoring at least two goals in each of them. Amadou Aydara, Lucas Klostermann and Fabrice Hartmann are in the club’s infirmary. Questionable is the presence of Konrad Laimer.
