The purple and white team qualified for the group stage of the Conference League through the preliminary rounds and eventually finished second in their group behind unreachable West Ham United. Ludogorets were then eliminated on penalties. And in the 1/8 finals, Anderlecht managed to win, beating Villarreal.
This puts the record champion in the UECL quarterfinals. And in this, the opponent will be the Dutchman AZ Alkmaar for the serve. So, on paper, there are opportunities for the people of Brussels. Although the A to Z certainly should not be underestimated. In the previous round, for example, the Dutch managed to eliminate the Italian Lazio. They are currently in third place in the Eredivisie for a reason.

Coach Pascal Jansen kept it up soccer studio Understanding that his team will do everything in their power to move forward. “Before the previous round against Lazio, everyone was convinced that we would go out. Now the feeling is exactly the opposite. We can win the Conference League, but we have to show it against Anderlecht first. We will do everything we can also beat Anderlecht,” said Jansen.
