Real Madrid will look to end the Champions League group stages on a high when they meet Club Brugge in Belgium on Wednesday night.

Zinedine Zidane’s men have already qualified for the knockout phases in second place, while Brugge look set to slip into the Europa League by finishing third.

From the very start, Brugge would have known that qualifying from a group containing PSG and Madrid was an essentially impossible task.

As predicted, Brugge will not progress any further in this competition, but can claim to have produced genuinely competitive displays against the two giants.

Indeed, aside from a 5-0 home defeat to PSG, Brugge’s young team has pushed their opponents to the wire, claiming a 2-2 draw at the Bernabeu in a game that they would have won if Casemiro had not grabbed a last-minute equaliser.

That they have taken a point off the aforementioned duo of teams serves as the only difference between the Belgian side and Galatasaray, who look set to finish this group on two points - both coming from draws against Brugge.

Claiming a victory at home to the La Liga giants would serve as due reward for how Brugge have conducted themselves in this competition.

The Spanish side are unbeaten in nine games across all competitions and are level on points with leaders Barcelona in La Liga, and seem to be going through their gears. (Sky Sports)
