    Six-goal thriller

    Club Brugge have put up an exceptional performance to take this game to a six-goal thriller. Nobody would have guessed this scoreline before kickoff, but with a few minutes to go, the Belgian club would well walk away with a victory should they find an injury-time winner.

    Can Barcelona, who have been shaky at the back, hold on for a draw?
