PREVIOUS MEETING

We’ve only ever faced the Belgian side twice in our history, with both games coming in the group stage of the 2021/22 edition of the Champions League.

At the Etihad, goals from Phil Foden, Riyad Mahrez, Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus inspired us to a 4-1 victory.

The reverse fixture a month earlier ended 5-1 for City in Belgium, with Mahrez netting a brace, added by goals from Joao Cancelo, Kyle Walker and Cole Palmer.

LAST TIME OUT

Our last Champions League game last week saw us drop a two-goal lead to lose 4-2 away to Paris Saint-Germain.

Our last league outing ended in an impressive 3-1 victory over Chelsea, propelling us into fourth place in the Premier League table.

As for Brugge, they held Italian giants Juventus to a 0-0 draw a week ago and were held to a 1-1 draw against lowly KV Kortrijk in the Belgian Pro League on Saturday evening.

AS IT STANDS

For City, it is simple. This is a must-win game. We are currently in 25th position, with eight points and +2 goal difference, whilst Brugge are in 20th, with 11 points and -2 goal difference.

A victory will see the Blues leapfrog Brugge into the top 24 of the league phase and secure a two-legged play-off round place for the right to progress to the Round of 16.
