"Barcelona's high defensive line was torn apart time and again by Brugge in a Champions League thriller. Barca were behind three times and needed VAR to overturn a stoppage-time winner for the hosts to take a point in a brilliantly entertaining game. Carlos Forbs had too much pace and movement for the Barca defence, scoring twice and creating the opener for Nicolo Tresoldi."
"In a thriller at Brugge's Jan Breydel Stadium, the home side opened the scoring through Tresoldi in the sixth minute, after a quick counter by Forbs, but Barcelona hit right back with Torres finding the net from close range two minutes later. Brugge regained the lead in the 17th minute with Forbs scoring after another quick counter, but teenager Yamal scored a brilliant individual goal in the 60th minute to level the match again."
"But Barca fought back impressively one each occasion with Ferran Torres and Lamine Yamal scoring, before Yamal's cross was flicked in by Christos Tzolis for an unfortunate own goal. Goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny was then caught on the ball in his own area as Brugge thought they had a fourth - but it was ruled out for a foul. The result leaves Barcelona 11th in the standings on"
Barcelona's high defensive line was repeatedly exposed by Club Brugge's counter-attacks, with Nicolo Tresoldi and Carlos Forbs punishing gaps early. Forbs scored twice and created the opener as Brugge took the lead three times during the match. Ferran Torres and teenager Lamine Yamal produced impressive responses to level the score on two occasions. Christos Tzolis diverted a cross into his own net to restore parity after Forbs's second counter goal. A potential Brugge fourth was ruled out for a foul on the goalkeeper, and VAR overturned a stoppage-time winner, leaving a 3-3 draw.
