The feat is great, we know that. However, it is difficult to translate it into words. Why? Because it almost seems “logical” in view of the quality demonstrated by the Club. If the Bruggeois had scored the winning goal at the last minute or had been heroic after struggling for 90 minutes against repeated onslaughts from Madrid, there might have been more of a tendency to get carried away naturally.
But the reality is that the Club is just ‘very good’, ‘strong’ or even ‘excellent’. The takeover lasts 1h30 or so, the weak times are (very) few and the strong times are perfectly exploited. There is everything. Absolutely everything. Results? Nine points taken after three matches, zero goals conceded, seven registered. What to add to that? That this time it was Witsel, Carrasco and their partners who fell to the (almost) perfect Bruges organisation.
Arrived in the Venice of the North this summer from Barça, center-forward Ferran Jutglà was the executioner of Madrid: decisive passer on the 1-0, signed by the Ghanaian Kamal Sowah in the 36th, and scorer then. In an incandescent Jan Breydel stadium, Alvaro Morata, Joao Felix et Cie then broke their teeth on the Bruges defense and a very inspired Simon Mignolet. Antoine Griezmann was very unfortunate when he missed the conversion of a penalty fifteen minutes from time before seeing a goal canceled for offside a minute later.
We have already experienced great things in our stadium, but here it is a very special evening.
