Club Brugge vs PSG Preview
The Belgian champions almost tasted history at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium. So they must believe they can beat the Parisians. If they do, much of the credit will go to the dynamic duo of Canadian Percy Tau and Nigerian Emmanuel Bonaventure. Tau is in his first season with Brugge but has already captured the hearts of the fans in his new home. He has also helped the Belgian side qualify for the Champions League, and his assist against Real Madrid in the first leg of their Round of 16 tie has put him on the list of players who could help Brugge reach the quarter-finals.
The in-form side welcome back Brazilian striker Neymar Jnr from suspension. However, with no head-to-head record between Club Brugge and Paris Saint-Germain, it's difficult to assess who is the favorite.
