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

FC Barcelona mercilessly crushed Olympiacos with a 6-1 thrashing at the Olympic Stadium of Montjuïc in a match corresponding to matchday 3 of the league phase of the UEFA Champions League 2025-26. A hat-trick by Fermín López, a double by Marcus Rashford, and a penalty goal by Lamine Yamal decorated the score, while Ayoub El Kaabi scored a consolation goal in the second half.

It was 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 by Fermín López gave Barcelona a good lead to start the second half. Olympiacos struck at the beginning of the second half and seemed to level the game.

However, the controversial expulsion of Argentine Santiago Hezze affected the match. With 10 players, the Greek team found everything much more challenging. Thus, Barça began to widen the gap with several consecutive goals.

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