Both Monaco and Club Brugge would therefore be unable to finish in the top two should they fail to win at the Stade Louis II and Atlético beat Dortmund in the section's other matchday four fixture. Previous meetings • The sides' only past contests came in the 1988/89 European Cup second round, when each were home winners. However, while Club Brugge took the advantage with a 1-0 success in the first leg in Belgium, Monaco turned the tie round in style back in France, a Youssouf Fofana hat-trick helping secure a 6-1 second-leg win. Form guide Monaco • Having opened with a 2-1 home defeat against Atlético, Monaco went down 3-0 in Dortmund on matchday two. The matchday three draw in Belgium extended their run of European away games without a win to six (D3 L3). • The Atlético defeat made it five in succession at home in Europe for Monaco; they had won their previous four at the Stade Louis II. • Monaco are without a win in 11 European games (D3 L8), since a 3-1 home victory against Dortmund in the quarter- final second leg in April 2017. • Second in Ligue 1 last season, Monaco reached the 2016/17 UEFA Champions League semi-finals but finished bottom of their 2017/18 group having collected two points from their six games. • The Ligue 1 outfit have won two of their three home games against Belgian visitors – scoring 11 goals in those victories – but lost the most recent encounter, 2-0 at home to Anderlecht in the 2015/16 UEFA Europa League group stage. • Runners-up in 2004, Monaco remain the last French team to reach the UEFA Champions League final. Club Brugge • Beaten 1-0 at home by Dortmund on matchday one, Club Brugge then went down 3-1 at Atlético to extend their run of defeats in the UEFA Champions League, group stage to final, to eight in a row – four short of the competition record held by another Belgian club, Anderlecht – and ended by the home draw against Monaco. • The Monaco match was the first time Club Brugge had picked up a point in the group stage since a 1-1 draw against Bayern München on 7 December 2005. • The Belgian side are without a win in their last 13 UEFA Champions League fixtures, qualifying included (D2 L11). • Group stage to final, Club Brugge's last win in the competition was a 3-2 home defeat of Rapid Wien in November 2005; their record since then is D2 L9. They have won only two of their last 15 fixtures in the UEFA Champions League proper (D2 L11). • Belgian champions for the 15th time in 2017/18, this is Club Brugge's second group campaign in three seasons, and their sixth overall. Before 2016/17 – when they lost every game to finish bottom of a group including Leicester, Porto and København – their previous participation had come in 2005/06. • Club Brugge's last meetings with French opposition before matchday three came in the 2012/13 UEFA Europa League group stage, when they lost away (0-4) and home (1-2) to Bordeaux. • The defeat in Bordeaux means Club Brugge's record away to French clubs is W1 D1 L7; the sole victory was a 2-1 success at Châteauroux in the 2004/05 UEFA Cup first round second leg. • Runners-up to Liverpool in 1978, Club Brugge remain the only team from Belgium to have reached a European Cup final. Links and trivia • Henry spent two years as an assistant and forwards coach to the Belgium national team before taking up the head coach role at Monaco; Club Brugge's Hans Vanaken featured in several Belgium squads during that period.
