Barcelona Held 3-3 by Club Brugge as Yamal Shines and Defensive Woes Grow

Flick insists the problem is intensity rather than system.

Overview

  • Barcelona drew 3-3 at Club Brugge in the Champions League, with Lamine Yamal scoring once and being involved in the other two goals.
  • Head coach Hansi Flick said the team failed to press and lost most midfield duels, and he ruled out changing the system.
  • Reports note Barcelona have conceded in nine straight matches and roughly 16 goals over this stretch, highlighting structural defensive issues.
