In the fourth round of the UEFA Champions League, Barcelona played out a 3–3 draw with Club Brugge, but the match brought an unpleasant moment for the Catalans’ centre-back.
Details: According to journalist Víctor Navarro, defender Eric García suffered a broken nose during the game, a diagnosis later confirmed by X-ray. He was seen wearing a protective mask when the team returned to Barcelona.
The game ended in a 3–3 draw. It wasn’t the only controversial incident of the night — the referees had earlier overturned a penalty awarded against Barcelona.
Reminder: Barcelona have now conceded at least once in nine consecutive matches — their second-worst defensive run in the past 12 years. The last time they endured a longer streak was in 2013, when they conceded in 13 straight games.
