"A Fermin Lopez hat-trick, a Marcus Rashford brace and a goal from Lamine Yamal helped Barcelona to a 6-1 win over Olympiacos last night in the UEFA Champions League, taking the team to six points after three games and getting them back on track after the defeat to PSG. The game was far from as one-sided as the scoreline suggests, for it was only a flurry of goals after Olympiacos were reduced to ten men that allowed such a massive lead."
"It is not often, after all, that an elite goalscoring midfielder comes up the academy ranks. Fermin Lopez, however, is one such rare phenomenon of La Masia who boasts a ridiculous ball-striking ability. Last night, the young midfielder turned up in style, and his hat-trick was the highlight of the night. Such was his form that it is barely believable that he is just coming back from injury."
Barcelona secured a 6-1 victory over Olympiacos in the UEFA Champions League, moving to six points from three group games. The scoreline widened after Olympiacos were reduced to ten men, but the contest remained competitive before that moment. Fermin Lopez scored a hat-trick, Marcus Rashford added two goals and Lamine Yamal scored once. Lopez opened and completed his treble with emphatic finishes that showcased his striking ability. The performance offered positives from players like Fermin, Rashford and Pedri, while others such as Lamine Yamal and Jules Kounde looked below their best. The win provides momentum ahead of El Clasico.
