Barcelona star joins Kylian Mbappé in exclusive club after win over Olympiacos | OneFootball

A member of the midfield ranks at La Liga giants Barcelona has on Tuesday joined Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappé in an exclusive Champions League club.

This comes owing to his exploits in the Blaugrana’s latest outing.

Barcelona were of course back in action a short time ago, welcoming Greek outfit Olympiacos to Catalunya’s capital for a Champions League clash.

When all was said and done, Hansi Flick’s troops emerged on the right side of a dominant 6-1 scoreline, to make it two wins from two since the close of the international break.

A number of Barca’s stars shone bright across the 90 minutes, with Marcus Rashford having been on target to the tune of a brace.

Stealing the show, though, was Fermín López.

On his return to starting duties in Barcelona colours, midfielder Fermín notched a fine hat-trick, to firmly justify his inclusion to boss Hansi Flick.

And as alluded to above, such efforts have since given rise to an altogether noteworthy statistic.

As revealed by ‘StatMuse’, Fermín has joined Kylian Mbappé as just the 2nd player to find the net three times in a single Champions League fixture this season:
