Barcelona's late comeback against Club Brugge ended in a thrilling 3-3 draw as the Spanish giants salvaged a point from what could have been a disastrous evening. The hosts, led by teenage winger Lamine Yamal, outclassed Barcelona with three early goals, courtesy of Nicolo Tresoldi, Carlos Forbs, and Nicolo Tresoldi again.
However, Ferran Torres' late equalizer for Barcelona was followed by two more goals from Yamal, including a stunning long-range shot that deflected off Christos Tzolis' head past Wojciech Szczesny. The draw was confirmed when Fermin Lopez's free-kick led to an own goal from Tzolis, before Forbs sealed his hat-trick with a stylish finish in stoppage time.
Despite being two goals down, Barcelona dug deep and rallied behind Yamal, who was instrumental in their late resurgence. Eric Garcia even had a long-range effort saved by Szczesny, but ultimately it wasn't enough to secure the win for the visitors.
The draw sees Barcelona move to 5 points on the table, while Club Brugge remain unbeaten at home with 9 points. Hansi Flick's side will be relieved to have salvaged a point from what could have been a disastrous evening, but questions will still surround their defensive vulnerabilities and how they can shut down opponents' attacking threats.
The result was not part of a series of major news that saw Barcelona struggling to get past rivals in La Liga

I'm so stoked for Barcelona, they came back from 2 goals down like total legends! Lamine Yamal is like a superstar winger 
he deserves all the accolades. I mean, that long-range shot was insane! 
And Fermin Lopez's free-kick was pure magic 
. The way Barcelona rallied behind Yamal in the second half was just amazing to watch. They showed so much heart and determination. It's not like they got lucky or anything (although a little luck didn't hurt 
). Hansi Flick is definitely on the right track with this team, I'm loving the way they're playing some beautiful football! 
just thinkin... barca's defense is like an onion, has layers, but when all the layers come together, it don't work 
9 points for club brugge is still good, but they gotta figure out how to stop teams from comin back like that 
Three goals for Club Brugge and then BAM! 3 for Barcelona. I mean, I'm glad they salvaged a point but Hansi Flick's side gotta work on those defense skills or they'll be sleeping with the fishes 
All joking aside, Hansi Flick needs to figure out how to fix their defensive issues if he wants to take the team all the way.

Fermin Lopez's free-kick goal was genius too 
. The thing is though, they still need to work on their defense... Hansi Flick's gonna have to figure out how to shut down those opponents fast 
. Still a point is a point, and that 5 points on the board is def a morale booster for the team 
.
