Fermín Fires Barça to Glory with Historic Hat-Trick Against Olympiacos

Barcelona lit up the Champions League tonight with a dazzling 6–1 demolition of Olympiacos at Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys.

Fermín López stole the spotlight with a historic hat-trick—the first ever by a Spanish player for Barça in the Champions League. He struck twice before halftime, setting the tone for a night of pure dominance.

Olympiacos briefly clawed back with a penalty from Ayoub El Kaabi, but their hopes were dashed when Santiago Hezze saw red. From there, it was a Blaugrana blitz.

Lamine Yamal coolly slotted home a penalty to mark his 25th UCL appearance—making him the youngest player ever to hit that milestone. Marcus Rashford then added two more goals, sandwiching López’s third, to complete the rout.

Barcelona controlled 69% of possession and looked unstoppable in transition. With two wins from three group-stage matches, they’ve reignited their European campaign in style—and sent a clear warning to the rest of the continent: the Catalan giants are back, and they mean business.
