Barcelona stumbles against Club Brugge in UEFA Champions League

Intense match ends in draw

The Spanish side narrowly escaped a loss after falling behind twice, with an own goal by Christos Tzolis in the 77th minute rescuing the draw. Earlier, Ferran Torres (8) and Lamine Yamal (61) scored for Barcelona.

Carlos Forbes shines for Brugge

Portuguese forward Carlos Forbes Borges was the standout player, tormenting Barcelona’s defence with his movement. He scored twice (17’, 64’) and assisted the opening goal by German captain Nicolo Tresoldi (6’).

Barcelona’s struggles continue

Despite recently bouncing back domestically with a 3-1 win over Elche following their 2-1 El Clásico defeat to Real Madrid, Barcelona barely avoided another setback on the European stage.
