Fermín hat-trick, Rashford double as Barcelona thrash Olympiacos | OneFootball

FC Barcelona mercilessly destroyed Olympiacos with a 6-1 thrashing at the Estadio Olímpico de Montjuïc in a match corresponding to Matchday 3 of the league phase of the 2025-26 UEFA Champions League. A hat-trick from Fermín López, a brace from Marcus Rashford, and a penalty goal from Lamine Yamal sealed the result, while Ayoub El Kaabi pulled one back in the second half.

This is Barcelona’s second victory in this UEFA Champions League and their first at home. After the defeat against PSG, they bounced back and thrashed Olympiacos. Although there were some controversial decisions by Swiss referee Urs Schnyder, the superiority of the ‘Culés’ was very evident.

In the first half, two goals from Fermín López gave Barcelona a comfortable lead heading into the second half. Olympiacos struck early in the second half and seemed to level things up.

However, the controversial sending off of Argentine Santiago Hezze changed the course of the match. With 10 men, things became very difficult for the Greek side. Thus, Barça began to pull away with several quick goals.

Finally, Fermín López completed his hat-trick, Marcus Rashford added a brace, and Lamine Yamal converted his penalty with a dedication to his girlfriend Nicki Nicole. A complete and perfect day for Barcelona, who climb up the standings.
