Club Brugge marked the opening night of their UEFA Champions League campaign with a statement 4-1 victory over AS Monaco at the Jan Breydel Stadium. The Belgian champions came out with a sharp, aggressive approach, pressing high and forcing Monaco into mistakes early on. Their persistence paid off in the 32nd minute when Nicolo Tresoldi calmly slotted home the opener after finding space behind Monaco’s back line, sending the home crowd into a frenzy.
Just minutes later, Brugge doubled their lead through Raphael Onyedika, who pounced on a loose ball following a well-worked corner routine. The momentum was firmly on their side, and before the halftime whistle, captain Hans Vanaken curled in a beautiful strike from the edge of the box to make it 3-0. Monaco’s defense looked shell-shocked, unable to cope with Brugge’s quick transitions and clinical finishing.
The second half saw Monaco try to regain a foothold in the match, with Wissam Ben Yedder and Takumi Minamino attempting to spark their attack. But Brugge’s compact shape and organized pressing kept them from creating clear-cut chances. In the 75th minute, substitute Mamadou Diakhon sealed the result with a composed finish after a quick counterattack, showing the depth and ruthlessness of this Brugge squad.
Monaco finally grabbed a consolation goal in stoppage time when Ansu Fati converted from close range after a corner caused chaos in the Brugge penalty area. It was too little, too late for the visitors, who will leave Belgium knowing their defensive lapses cost them dearly. Despite having slightly more possession, they struggled to convert it into meaningful opportunities.
This result sends a strong message to Group Stage rivals: Club Brugge are not just participants but genuine contenders for a knockout spot. Their blend of youth, experience, and tactical discipline was on full display, while Monaco will need to regroup quickly before their next European outing. The Belgians not only took three points but also a major boost in confidence for the road ahead.
