"Spanish giants Barcelona needed to come from behind three times to earn a 3-3 draw at Club Brugge in the Champions League, with teenage winger Lamine Yamal back to his best for Hansi Flick's side to help them earn a point in a gripping clash in Belgium. Barca's defence was shredded on multiple occasions on Wednesday by the hosts as Brugge winger Carlos Forbs struck twice and set one up for Nicolo Tresoldi."
"The hosts took an early lead at the Jan Breydel Stadium through Tresoldi, who was set up by the electric Forbs. With Forbs rampaging in behind Barcelona's high defensive line, Brugge set an early blueprint for how they could consistently hurt the Catalans. Flick's side hit back quickly through Torres, who produced a clever finish after Fermin Lopez played him in."
"Midfielder Lopez struck the woodwork before Forbs netted Brugge's second in a relentless battle between two sides determined to attack. The Portuguese winger played a one-two with Tzolis to burst into space behind Barca's defence once more before finishing with aplomb past Wojciech Szczesny. Barca defender Jules Kounde crashed a shot against the bar at the other end as last year's semifinalists sought a leveller."
Club Brugge took the lead three times and had a fourth goal ruled out in a 3-3 Champions League draw with Barcelona at the Jan Breydel Stadium. Carlos Forbs struck twice and created Nicolo Tresoldi's opener as Brugge repeatedly exploited space behind Barcelona's high defensive line. Barcelona responded through Ferran Torres and benefited from a Christos Tzolis own goal, with teenage winger Lamine Yamal influential in creating chances. Fermin Lopez hit the woodwork and Jules Kounde struck a post as both sides attacked relentlessly. Wojciech Szczesny produced key saves while injuries left Barcelona with a patched defence.
