Gustaf Nilsson shot Club Brugge to a 2-1 win over Atalanta on Wednesday with a controversial penalty in stoppage time to boost the Belgians' chances of reaching the last 16 of the Champions League. Hien couldn't believe his eyes when Meler pointed to the spot and gave Nilsson the chance to fire Club Brugge to a win which they might have otherwise deserved for their enterprising performance in front of passionate home support.

Atalanta have Marco Carnesecchi back for the Champions League play-off with Club Brugge, but are missing several key players and lose another to flu. The first leg kicks off at the Jan Breydelstadion in Bruges on Wednesday at 17.45 GMT.

It was Atalanta's first defeat in their last 15 European away games (won eight, drawn six), while they suffered their first knockout loss on the road in Europe since March 2021
