Overview
- Club Brugge and Barcelona drew 3-3 after a stoppage-time Brugge goal by Romeo Vermant was ruled out on VAR for a foul on goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny.
- Carlos Forbs struck twice and set up Nicolò Tresoldi for Brugge, while Barcelona’s goals came from Ferran Torres, Lamine Yamal and a Christos Tzolis own goal.
- Lamine Yamal was Barcelona’s standout, scoring a brilliant equaliser and driving the late leveler, as Hansi Flick repeated his XI with key absences and introduced Robert Lewandowski and Dani Olmo from the bench.
- Newcastle beat an improvised Athletic side 2-0 at St. James’ Park through headed goals by Dan Burn from a Trippier set piece and Joelinton early in the second half.
- Athletic traveled without multiple starters and lost Gorka Guruzeta to illness on the day, leaving them on three points after four games, while Newcastle moved to nine points and Barça sit on seven, 11th in the table.
