Club Brugge Eliminates Atalanta from Champions League

Club Brugge secured a spot in the Champions League last 16 after a 3-1 win over Atalanta in the knockout playoff tie, advancing 5-2 on aggregate. Chemsdine Talbi scored twice early, and Ferran Jutgla added another before Atalanta attempted a comeback with a goal from Ademola Lookman, who later missed a penalty. Atalanta's chances were further diminished when captain Rafael Toloi was sent off. This defeat marks a difficult period for Italian clubs in the Champions League, with both Atalanta and AC Milan exiting the tournament. Club Brugge's victory is notable as they break a long-standing winless streak against Italian teams in European competitions.
