AC Milan – Club Brugge
On 22 October at 19:45, AC Milan welcome Club Brugge to the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in the third round of the Champions League group stage. This match is expected to be decisive for Milan, who started with two defeats in the group – 1:3 against Liverpool and 0:1 against Bayer Leverkusen. These results put the Italians in an uncomfortable position, but the meeting with the Belgian team provides
an opportunity to recover.
Milan crashed out of the tournament last season after a run of disappointing results, losing half of their eight matches in European competition even when they were favourites. Such results this year combined with their unconvincing Serie A form (4 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses) could be a worrying sign for their fans.
On the other hand, Club Brugge have not had an easy start to the season either, but have shown solid defense in their European matches. The team is on a run of four consecutive away clean sheets in the Champions League group stage, including against strong opponents Bayer Leverkusen and Atletico Madrid last year. Belgium coach Nicky Heijen noted that effective defense is the key to the team’s recent good results.
The stars to watch in this clash are Milan’s Samuel Chukwueze, who scored a crucial goal in the last game against Udinese, and Club Brugge captain Hans Vanaken, who has three away goals this season.
