""The midfield didn't press enough. We lost possession too often, and it wasn't easy for the defensive line to defend against their quick attacks," he observed."

Barcelona drew 3-3 with Club Brugge after defensive lapses cost vital points in European competition. The team insists on preserving its attacking, possession-based identity rather than switching to a defensive low block. Midfield pressure and possession control were insufficient, which repeatedly exposed the defensive line to quick attacks. The back line requires tactical and executional improvement to stop conceding. Intensity is highlighted as essential for Champions League competitiveness. Young winger Lamine Yamal produced a strong performance, but fitness and broader team balance remain areas requiring attention and measured management.
