Barcelona thrashes Olympiacos 6-1 in Champions League with Rashford brace

Barcelona delivered a dominant 6-1 victory over Olympiacos in the Champions League, highlighted by Fermin Lopez's hat-trick and Marcus Rashford's impressive brace. Lopez opened the scoring with two goals before halftime and completed his hat-trick with a fierce volley later in the match, making him the first Spaniard to achieve this for Barcelona in the competition. Rashford, on loan from Manchester United, added two goals and earned a penalty that was converted by Lamine Yamal, showcasing his significant impact since joining Barcelona. The match featured a controversial second yellow card for Olympiacos's Santiago Hezze, which reduced the Greek side to ten men and shifted momentum firmly in Barcelona's favor. Rashford's performance places him among the top goal contributors in this season's Champions League, underlining his revitalized form and ambitious goal-assist targets at his new club. This comprehensive win boosts Barcelona's confidence ahead of their upcoming El Clasico clash with Real Madrid.
