Fermin Lopez stole the show with a superb hat-trick as Barcelona demolished Olympiacos 6-1 in the Champions League on Tuesday evening.

Marcus Rashford added two goals of his own as Hansi Flick’s men produced a ruthless second-half display at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys.

Early control and Fermin’s double brilliance

Barcelona took charge from the first whistle, carving Olympiacos open with slick movement and quick passing.

Rashford narrowly missed with a volley inside five minutes, but the breakthrough came soon after when Fermin smashed home following an electrifying run from Lamine Yamal.

The 21-year-old midfielder doubled his tally before halftime, calmly finishing from a precise Dro Fernandez assist after sitting down his marker inside the box.

Olympiacos fight back cut short by red card

The visitors found a lifeline early in the second half when Ayoub El Kaabi scored from the spot after Eric Garcia’s handball.

But their momentum vanished when Santiago Hezze was controversially shown a second yellow card for minimal contact on Marc Casado, an incident that left Olympiacos furious.

Barcelona run riot after the break

With the Greek side down to ten men, Barca turned on the style. Rashford earned a penalty that Yamal confidently dispatched before the Manchester United loanee got on the scoresheet himself with a clinical strike inside the area.

Fermin completed his hat-trick, unleashing a fierce volley, before Rashford added a sixth from distance to cap off a dominant performance.

The comprehensive win provided Barcelona with a timely confidence boost ahead of Sunday’s El Clasico showdown with Real Madrid.
