It was good until “Allez Les Latics!”
Bruges is in the Dutch speaking part of Belgium ;)
It wasn’t meant to relate to Brugge in particular as the main language used by UEFA is French ;)
TBh it was just a little joke but I shall attempt to find out the Belgian for it later whilst finding out what “COME ON LEVERKUSEN” is in German to annoy my Utd supporting friends.
Residents of Brugge would say that they speak Flemish.
Flemish television shows may even have sub-titles for Dutch speakers.

Flemish is a slight variation of Dutch, some words differ similar to Spanish and Catalan.
Having spent a lot of time working in Belgium I always found the locals very friendly and accommodating.

The written forms of Flemish and Dutch are almost identical, but the spoken dialects can differ quite widely – enough to make comprehension difficult.
The two forms are closer than Castilian and Catalan Spanish, but perhaps as different as Lowlands Scots and standard English.
The Flemish are certainly hospitable. I hope they remember our visit for its good behaviour.
On Zulte’s Facebook page there’s a message about availability of tickets for them, and one person has written: “massaal afkomen, want Wigan komt met 2.500 man!” – “make a big effort to come along because Wigan are bringing 2,500”.
When was the last time a team was concerned about the number of Wigan fans :)
