A punishing one to start with: Club is the only club from pot 4 to winter in this UCL pool, in fact, the other clubs from pot 4 all finished last.

FCB is the third Belgian club to survive the group stage, after RSC Anderlecht in 2000 and KAA Gent in 2015. Club finished 44th in the UEFA Club Ranking last season. Due to the good performance this season, Blauw-Zwart made a huge jump to 30th place. It has been 25 years since Club was once so high on the ranking.

Next Monday, November 7, at noon, a draw for the Round of 16 of the UCL will be held at the House Of European Football in Nyon, Switzerland.

Club Brugge finished 2nd making it:

  • can only draw a group winner.
  • Not against FC Porto, the club in the same group as Blauw-Zwart.
  • It plays the first match on its own field.

The outward game will be played in Brugge on one of these dates: 14, 15, 21 or 22 February 2023. The return match on the road on March 7, 8, 14 or 15, 2023.
