Club Brugge
This is Club Brugge’s 11th Champions League group stage campaign, only one short of the Belgian record held by Anderlecht. The Belgian champions have returned to the top tier of European football for the first time since 2023-24. They finished second in their group in that campaign, qualifying for the round of 16. However, their journey came to an end when they suffered a 7-1 thumping on aggregate over two legs against Benfica.
However, Club Brugge are one of the most consistent teams in Belgium. They won the Belgium Pro League last time, their fourth league title in five seasons. The club appointed the current manager Nicky Hayen as a caretaker manager first last season and after he guided the team to the league title, he was handed the permanent role in June this year. The Belgian outfit will show a lot of fight against Dortmund especially at home.
