The Black and Blues were only fourth in the regular season, but performed brilliantly in the Championship Group
Brugeshaving played a draw at home with fellow countrymen from Cercle Bruges (0:0), became Belgian champion.
Let us note that based on the results of 30 rounds of the regular season, the Black and Blue Zanil are only in fourth place, with a 19-point gap from the leader, Union. However, the original regulations of the Championship Group (previously scored points are divided in half) allowed the club to enter the ten-round race with a “-9” backlog.
In the spring, Nikki Hayen took over as head coach of Brugge (with the prefix “acting”). And he gave the result – 24 points and not a single defeat in ten matches with top opponents. As a result, both Union and Anderlecht (the record holder for the number of championship titles, of which it has 34) were left behind.
The Black and Blues won the league title for the 19th time. Union remained an 11-time champion, but its last triumph dates back to 1935.
In addition, Brugge reached the semi-finals of the Conference League this season, where they dramatically gave way to Fiorentina (2:3, 1:1).
Let us remind you that Ukrainian forward Roman Yaremchuk is under contract in Bruges, but he spent this season on loan with the Spanish Valencia.
