Simon Mignolet leads Club Brugge to Champions League knockout stage for the first time in its history. An ex-Liverpool player has not conceded in group stages.

Have you ever wondered how Simon Mignolet, ex-Liverpool goalkeeper, is doing?

Only us? But he’s doing great.

Mignolet is a hero of Beligum at the moment

Mignolet was, in fact, a true inspiration for Club Brugge during the Champions League.

Many people dismissed the Belgian side at the beginning of the campaign, after they were drawn in a group alongside Atletico Madrid and Porto.

They have two more games to play and are now qualified for the knockout stage.

And incredibly, Mignolet’s goal is yet to be breached in five group matches, including two against Spanish giants Atletico.

The Belgium international totted up a remarkable tally of nine saves during a 0-0 draw against Diego Simeone’s side on Wednesday night.

He is the second-most productive goalkeeper in this season’s competition, with 21 saves in total.

Club Brugge reached the Champions League knockout stage for the first-time in its history thanks to his heroism.

Mignolet collected a Champions League winners’ medal as a bit part player at Liverpool in the 2018/19 season, before calling time on a six-year career at Anfield.

This will likely taste even better for the 34-year old.
