"Club Brugge took an unexpected lead just six minutes in at the Jan Breydelstadion, as Carlos Forbs beat the visitors' offside trap with ease before laying it on a platter for Nicolo Tresoldi. But Barcelona hit back almost immediately through Ferran Torres, who capped a lovely pass from Fermin Lopez with a side-footed finish just two minutes later. The end-to-end action continued from there as Fermin clipped the woodwork minutes later"
"Lamine Yamal finally drew them level just past the hour mark, carving through the Brugge defence with ease and poking home after a lovely back-heel pass from Fermin. Brugge, though, continued to find joy against Barcelona's high defensive line and reclaimed the lead less than two minutes later, as Forbs again raced through and calmly slotted past Szczesny. The hosts then saw a penalty call overturned after a VAR review"
"The Blaugrana remained in the hunt late on and were fortunate to find an equaliser as Christos Tzolis unwittingly turned Yamal's curling cross into his own net in the 77th minute to level the match once again. Romeo Vermant gave Brugge full licence to dream as he put them ahead in the 91st minute, nicking the ball off Szczesny and sliding into an open net, but the goal was disallowed for a foul following a VAR review."
Barcelona and Club Brugge played a wild Champions League match that finished 3-3 after numerous lead changes. Club Brugge struck early through Carlos Forbs and Nicolo Tresoldi, but Barcelona replied quickly via Ferran Torres. Forbs twice exploited Barcelona's high line to restore Brugge leads, while Barcelona drew level through Lamine Yamal and an own goal by Christos Tzolis. VAR overturned a home penalty and later disallowed a 91st-minute Brugge goal by Romeo Vermant for a foul. The draw left Barcelona 11th and Brugge 22nd in the standings.
