Overview

  • Barcelona twice fought back to a 3-3 draw in the Champions League group stage’s fourth round in Bruges.
  • Club Brugge punished Barcelona on quick counters, with Frenkie de Jong and Èric García conceding the side is vulnerable in pressing and defensive transitions.
  • Head coach Hansi Flick criticized the lack of intensity, said he will address it with the squad, and dismissed changing the overall system.
  • Èric García sustained a broken nose late in the match and is expected to miss Sunday’s visit to Celta at Balaídos.
  • Lamine Yamal scored and was involved in the other goals in a standout display, as opinion pieces warned of a broader decline despite Joan Laporta’s public optimism.
