"It's a game that I think we should have won, but obviously we have to do things much better,"
"There are things we have to adjust, we know that, we're working on it, but we don't always convey that on the pitch, and that's kind of it."
"We are a bit weak on the counterattack because of our marking, our pressing up front, and how we position ourselves at the back. It's a bit of everything,"
"He's been good. He's a very good player, special. He'll always make a difference. He may have a better game than another, but if he keeps working, we don't have to worry about Lamine's level."
Barcelona produced a 3-3 draw with Club Brugge. Captain Frenkie de Jong expressed frustration, saying the team had enough chances but overall performance was insufficient. He stated that adjustments are required and acknowledged ongoing work that is not always reflected on the pitch. De Jong identified structural defensive weaknesses, citing poor marking, pressing and positioning that leave the team vulnerable on counterattacks. He urged moving beyond comparisons to last season and noted that Barcelona conceded many goals and failed to win the Champions League. He praised Lamine Yamal as a special player who will consistently make a difference. There was concern after Eric Garcia suffered a late injury.
