On November 6, 2025, at the "Jan Breydel" Stadium, Belgium's "Brugge" and Catalonia's "Barcelona" played to a 3-3 draw in the UEFA Champions League Matchday 4 encounter. During the match, the VAR system intervened twice, canceling a possible winning goal for the home team.
"Brugge" started the match actively, with Nicolo Tresoldi opening the scoring, but Ferran Torres quickly leveled for the visitors. After that, Carlos Borges scored a brace, putting the Belgians ahead once again.
At the same time, "Barcelona" gained control of the ball and continued searching for open spaces. Lamine Yamal fired a precise shot from the left, scoring a goal.
Later, due to Christos Tzolis' own goal, the score was tied at 3-3. In the final minutes of the match, Anthony Taylor awarded a penalty to "Barcelona," but after a VAR review, the decision was overturned.
In added time, Romeo Vermant seemed to have given the hosts victory with a goal, but the system intervened again: on review, it was found there was a foul on goalkeeper Jarosław Szczęsny, the goal was disallowed and the match ended in a draw. For "Barcelona," Robert Lewandowski, Dani Olmo, and Runi Bardghji came on, while from the home team, the actions of Mamadou Diachon and Vermant added strength to the squad.
Meanwhile, Lint Oudor sustained an injury and Eric Garcia finished the match with a broken nose.
