After the break the first danger was Club’s again. A well-advanced Seys found Szczesny on his way. On the other side, Jackers stood in the way of Yamal’s goal. The initiative and possession of the ball once again fell entirely to the Spanish champions.
On the hour, Lamine Yamal’s moment had arrived. The Barça star went past Tzolis and Onyedika in a flash, then got the ball back from Lopez and put it past Jackers in the far corner, 2-2. A moment of unadulterated class from the teenage star.
Club did not appear to be upset. Forbs initially missed an excellent opportunity for a third goal, but did not give up. Vanaken once again found the winger in depth and this time he defeated Szczesny. 3-2, Club took the lead for a third time against FC Barcelona, which had enormous defensive difficulties.
Forbs remained a scourge for the visiting defense and seemed to earn Club a penalty twenty minutes before the end. Balde hit the Portuguese in the box, ref Taylor pointed to the spot, but reversed his decision after advice from the VAR.
Barcelona did not accept the defeat and continued to put pressure on the Bruges defense. Thirteen minutes before the end, the visitors came alongside for a third time. Yamal’s shot deviated unfortunately at Tzolis, 3-3.
In the absolute finale, Club still seemed to take the victory. Substitute Vermant stole the ball from Szczesny with a tackle in the box and finished for an empty goal. Taylor initially approved the goal, but VAR again intervened for a mistake by Vermant. An absolute stunt victory was not forthcoming. That did not prevent Jan Breydel from sending the home team into the changing rooms with thunderous applause. The visitors received a stirring flute concert. Final score: 3-3.
