Champions League

Club Brugge face Borussia Dortmund in yellow hell Wednesday night, on behalf of the fifth day of the group phase of the Champions League.

In the first leg, the Gazelles had lost on the smallest gap against the "Yellow and Black".

But 31 years ago, in December 1987, Club Brugge achieved the feat of eliminating Borussia Dortmund (5-0) in the return leg of the round of 16 after extra time (after being beaten 3-0 in the match go), as reported in an article of the
RTBF.

Already in the 32nd round against St. Petersburg and the next round against the Red Star Belgradre, Bruges had reversed the steam after being led.

The team was evolving: Philippe Vande Walle, Mamadou Tew, Hugo Broos, Francky Van der Elst, Dennis Van Wijk, Luc Beyens, Leo Van der Elst, Jan Ceulemans, Peter Creve, Marc Degryse and Ronny Rosenthal.

A new knowledge of Belgian football was evolving in the German ranks that day: the defender Bernd Storck, current coach of Mouscron.

That year, Bruges was eliminated in the semifinal against Espanyol Barcelona (where a certain Ernesto Valverde was playing) 3-0 in overtime (after winning 2-0 in the first leg).
