Club Brugge has been completely transformed in these Play-offs. The people of Bruges have now become a very serious title candidate.
Who would have thought that the situation would turn this way? Classified 4th, 19 points behind Union before the points halving, Club Brugge has really revived in these Play-offs.
Now they are in 2nd place, just 2 points behind the leader, RSC Anderlecht. Blauw-zwart is in an excellent position to go for the title. Without forgetting that they can also win the Conference League.
Club Brugge candidate for the title
“Today we are scaring everyone…”, Bruges resident Hugo Vetlesen said RTBF. “Are we currently the best team in Belgium? Well, yes!”
The play-off system obviously helped. After all, the backlog was immense. “I love the Play-off format, this system also exists in Denmark: it produces top matches against the best teams, the pressure is maximum, and everyone can win. You see Union on a wonderful journey… and now it is all a little less.”
“They still have a chance, but they knew the rules before the season: I also wanted to be 9 or 10 points ahead before the play-offs started,” said Vetlesen.
