BRILLIANT BRUGGE BOOK LAST-16 SPOT
Another fantastic performance from Nicky Hayen's side saw them beat Atalanta at their own game. Chemsdine Talbi burnished his growing reputation, scoring twice inside the first 27 minutes, Ferran Jutgla added a beauty in additional time, and though Ademola Lookman, on at the break, scored within a minute of returning from injury, he missed a penalty just past the hour that effectively ended their hopes of pulling off an unlikely comeback. With three minutes to go, Rafael Toloi totally lost the run of himself, trying to throw the ball at Maxim de Cuyper, slipping, chasing after him and flooring him with a running forearm to the back of the head; he was sent off. Brugge will meet Arsenal or Inter next, and if they keep playing like this they will be more than awkward opponents.
WHAT AN INCREDIBLE NIGHT
Atalanta weren't good tonight, but Brugge were very very good – and not for the first time. They've got a proper football team, solid in defense, aggressive in midfield, decisive in attack. They move on and they deserve to.

IN IMPOSSIBLY LIKELY FASHION
Bayern have equalised against Celtic on the night with seconds left; they go through having won the first leg.

I SAID EARLIER THAT BRUGGE HAVE A FEW GOOD PLAYERS
And they really do. Tzolis, Taldi, Vanaken, Seys and Jashari have all been really impressive.

RED CARD FOR TOLOI!
He wins a throw, De Cuyper stands in his way so he can't take it quickly, he doesn't see the funny side, he goes to throw the ball at him, slips, definitely doesn't see the funny side, chases De Cuyper and clobbers him from behind with a forearm. Whoops.

THE VAR CHECK
Was 3.41, so there should be at least that added on; we've also had a goal and lots of substitutions.

BRUGGE HAVE BEEN SOLID THE LAST 10 MINUTES
There'll be a sudden surge in Wyscout logins when this match is over, I shouldn't wonder. They've got a fair few impressive players.

ATALANTA HAVE 11 MINUTES AND A FAIR BIT OF ADDITIONAL
To score three times. The missed penalty has killed their momentum, but they'll keep attacking, and one bounce of the ball and they're back in business.
