"Barcelona's often-discussed defensive frailties came to the fore once again on Wednesday, when they fought back to secure a frantic 3-3 draw at the Jan Breydelstadion. It was end-to-end action from start to finish as Brugge took an unexpected lead from a counter-attack finished by Nicolo Tresoldi just six minutes in, though Ferran Torres levelled the scores two minutes later."
"We are Barca, and we want to play our football. We can talk about changing everything, but I'm not that kind of coach. We will play according to our DNA. We won't defend in our own half and play on the counter-attack to win 1-0. We can defend the final third or continue with our philosophy. We will do things better."
Barcelona fought back to earn a 3-3 draw at Club Brugge after a frantic, end-to-end contest. Brugge took the lead through Nicolo Tresoldi and Carlos Forbs via quick counter-attacks, while Ferran Torres and Lamine Yamal levelled for Barcelona and an own goal by Christos Tzolis secured a point. Barcelona have conceded in each of their last nine matches, totaling 14 goals, the worst clean-sheet run since March 2013. Barcelona will continue their possession-based, attacking approach, choosing to defend higher up the pitch and maintain their tactical DNA rather than switch to deep defending and counter-attacking.
