Barcelona restored their two-goal lead over Olmpiakos in the Champions League, after a spell of time for the Catalans, as the Gitrish Giants threatened to be brought back. Lamine Yamal has his side firmly back now.
Fermin Lopez had given Barcelona the lead early in the first half, courtesy of a lamin yamal assist, and then added to that before halftime. This time it was 17-year-old Dra Fernandez who provided his first assist for Lopez after being told of Barcelona’s pressure.
Olympiakos is threatening a comeback
However, the Champions quickly came out in the second half, and when Ayoub El Kaabi converted a cross from Daniel Podence, he returned to the present. That was disallowed due to the absence, but the eric garcia handball was in a constructive area, and the Moroccan striker shot his penalty on the post and past wojciech szczesny.

Lamine Yamal transforms the decisive penalty
The game was only ten minutes later. A lovely exchange of passes between Lopez and Marcus Rashford cut the Olimpiakos defense open, and the England Striker beat the Goalkeeper to the ball. Lamine Yamal stepped up to curl the ball into the net as Konstantinos Tzolakis went the wrong way.

Marcus Rashford enters the Law
Just six minutes later, Rashford had his goal. The ball towards the back was taken down by Alejandro Balde, and Rashford stopped the ball. His end in the cell still fooled Tzolakis for the second time, with a hesitation that reminded Ronaldinho.

Fermin Lopez scores the first hat-trick for barcelona
The Greek operators were on the ropes at this time, and with the laminated yamal off the pitch, instead of replacing the bardbed bottom they hit his man on his line. A slip meant his cut went into the box, but Lopez got in a good ball to fire him at his first chance.

Just 11 minutes after Lamine Yamal’s penalty, Rashford added a sixth. Gerard Martin won the ball back in midfield, and Rashford was soon introduced at the back. Touching inside the defender, he again beat Tzolakis at the near post.
