"Barcelona will finish Matchday 4 of the League Phase of this season's Champions League in 11th place in the standings thanks to a 3-3 draw away to Club Brugge in Belgium on Wednesday night. The Blaugrana had to come back from behind three times to steal a result on the road and their defensive performance was truly grotesque and deserved a defeat,"
"Barcelona's defense has been an issue all season, but that first half was truly embarrassing. Everything was bad, but the defending was almost hard to believe. The way Carlos Forbs got in behind Alejandro Balde and ran past Eric Garcia like he wasn't even there countless times was absurd, and Brugge's second goal was truly horrendous from a defensive perspective."
Barcelona drew 3-3 away to Club Brugge and finished Matchday 4 in 11th place in the Champions League group. The team fell behind three times and produced a defensively grotesque performance that arguably merited defeat. Lamine Yamal scored and forced an own goal in the second half to secure the draw. The first half featured repeated defensive failures, notably Alejandro Balde being beaten by Carlos Forbs and Eric Garcia repeatedly bypassed. The attack showed creativity from Yamal, Frenkie de Jong, and Fermín López, but finishing was poor, with Marcus Rashford wasteful and Ferran Torres missing good chances. Goalkeeping depth is a concern without Joan Garcia.
