In the fourth round of the UEFA Champions League, Club Brugge hosted Barcelona, and a controversial incident unfolded during the match.
Details: In the 71st minute, Barça defender Alejandro Balde brought down Carlos Forbs inside the penalty area. The referee initially awarded a penalty, but after VAR intervention and a review, he overturned his decision.
Barcelona have now conceded at least one goal in nine consecutive matches — their second-worst run in the past 12 years. The last time they endured a longer streak was in 2013, when they conceded in 13 straight games.
Reminder: Ahead of the Champions League fourth-round clash between Barcelona and Brugge, a frightening incident occurred in Belgium — a bus carrying Barça supporters caught fire.
