What a hangover for Club Brugge in the Jan Breydel Stadium. A late penalty put a cross over a possible European final.
Club Brugge did not reach the final of the Conference League. As the Jan Breydel Stadium gradually started to prepare for extra time, Fiorentina struck with a late goal from the spot.
“This is definitely a disappointment,” said Marc Degryse on VTM. “A goal is lost. Club now has a different feeling towards Union. It is a disappointment, but on the other hand there is enough time and space to turn the switch and go all out for the title.”
Although you can also look at it from the other side, the analyst says. “It can also be a motivation: ‘We missed one goal, now we won’t miss the next one’. That is also top sport: taking and recovering.”
Missed opportunity
Yet you also have to be honest, says Degryse, and say that Fiorentina was the better team in the two matches and deserved the final ticket.
“Club certainly had a hard time in the last twenty minutes and you felt that a goal would be scored. Ultimately that happened, albeit after an unfortunate foul by Mechele. But in the end, Fiorentina deservedly gets it.”
A missed opportunity for Club Brugge, but also for Belgian football. This could have been very beneficial for both of them.
