Barcelona vs Brest player ratings: Centurion Robert Lewandowski leads the way and Dani Olmo does some damage as the Blaugrana battle Champions League surprise package

Barcelona entered Tuesday’s game against Brest with some injuries from the weekend, having blown a 2-0 lead to a 2-2 draw with Celta Vigo in La Liga. Now they needed to get back to winning ways against the Champions League’s surprise side, and they did just that, securing a 3-0 win over the French visitors.

Barca put in a controlled, professional performance, dominating possession while allowing Robert Lewandowski to mount his Champions League century while seeing the best that new signing Dani Olmo has to offer.

It was Lewandowski who scored the first goal for Barcelona, ​​converting the penalty after Marco Bizot fouled him in the penalty area. Barca dominated the pitch throughout the half, but Bizot saved his chances well and parried Fermin Lopez’s header particularly well before half-time.

After the restart, Olmo cleared a shot off the line and Bizot continued to impress in goal. Ultimately, Olmo needed some magic to finally find a way through and score Barca’s second goal, as he dribbled around his own defender and calmly finished after a fine cutback from Gerard Martin. It was extraordinary for the former RB Leipzig player that he finished the ball with one fluid movement.

Barca should have scored a third six minutes from time as a loose ball from defense found Pablo Torre on the edge of Brest’s penalty area, but his resulting shot was wild and did not bother the goalkeeper. Instead, it was Lewandowski who scored the final point in stoppage time with a beautiful shot into the bottom corner.
