AS Monaco has defeated FC Barcelona, making it the club's first loss of the season.

Can FC Barcelona comeback after a surprise defeat against Monaco in the UCL?
Being reduced to 10 men quite early in the fixture, the Catalan camp couldn't make a significant comeback in the game and was always chasing the French club. However, Flick, being the true leader he is, has backed the group and believes they would comeback strong. Thus, the question arises: can FC Barcelona comeback to their best after the surprise defeat against Monaco in the UCL?
Before Monaco's fixture, FC Barcelona has been in their arguably best form in recent years. With the attack force producing goals, midfield sitting on the top of the game, and rock-solid defense play, the club looked quite invincible, considering their performances in the last La Liga games.
In La Liga, Flick's side has been at the top, with 5 consecutive victories that no one had expected before the season. In fact, not to forget, many questions were being raised about Flick's Barca tenure considering that the club had to start a new La Liga season, coming on the back of a humiliating loss against Monaco and a 2-1 loss from AC Milan.
But now, the club has resurged its dominance in the La Liga season, having crushed the majority of the opponents that came their way. With similarities between the club's season start, where they had faced two consecutive preseason games, and Barca's loss against Monaco, chances are significant that the club returns stronger than ever.

Moreover, with the new UCL format, where each club is supposed to play eight group stage matchdays, Barca still can turn things around in the remaining games. On top of that, till the club's next major UCL matchday, against Bayern, Barca hopes to have Dani Olmo and Gavi returned, which could be a major boost in their UCL hopes.
