After a tense Champions League matchday four clash against Brugge that ended in a dramatic 3-3 draw, Barcelona defender Eric García shared his thoughts on the team's performance and shed light on the reasons behind their defensive errors.
Details: Hansi Flick's side continues to struggle with lapses in concentration and mistakes when transitioning from attack to defense. After the match, defender Eric García attempted to explain the reasons for this instability.
"I don't think it's just a problem with the defensive line. We all attack and we all defend—it's a team effort," García stated.
"Sometimes we lose the ball in dangerous areas, and that leads to chances at our own goal. It's something we have to minimize as much as possible," the player added.
Barcelona dropped points yet again and could have even lost at the end, but the referee disallowed the Belgians' goal after a VAR review.
For the record: Carlos Forbes scored his first career brace—right against the Blaugrana.
