Despite a overhoopt point yesterday no protected status for Club Brugge when the draw of the 1/16th finals in the Europa League. With six points from the group stage will hear blue-black not the best four troisième in the Champions League.

Also the other troisième from the Champions League (Napoli, Benfica, Valencia and Inter) could be provided that the status of seed will be avoided. Now, this is not the case, because the Club ‘only’ the fifth best third. Furthermore, should Club home first play.
