Barcelona look to be heading into the half-time break against Olympiakos with a comfortable lead in the Champions League, courtesy of Fermin Lopez. Making his first start from injury, the Spain international is giving boss Hansi Flick reasons to put him in the starting XI for El Clasico.
The Blaugrana took an early against the Greek giants, with Fermin Lopez capitalising on Lamine Yamal’s effort to round the goalkeeper after just seven minutes. Barcelona were looking good for the opening stages, but were forced back by Olympiakos for a period, creating headaches with their press. Yet Lopez would make life far more comfortable for the home side just as the break turned the corner.
Fermin Lopez doubles Barcelona’s lead with fine effort
------------------------------------------------------
The attacking midfielder was let loose again by the Olympiakos defence after a turnover caused by Pedri. The ball found its way to 17-year-old Dro Fernandez, who would notch his first assist, as he rolled the ball into the path of Lopez in space. Cutting in from close range, Lopez finished with precision.
