The Barça team won a convincing 6-1 at the Montjuic Olympic Stadium with a hat trick from Fermín, a double from Rashford and a goal from Yamal, and goals from Raphinha and Ferran. Flick’s team showed its best side before the round of 16.
Barcelona mercilessly attacked the group stage of the Champions League with a monumental victory against Olympiacos (6-1) at the Montjuic Olympic Stadium. Hansi Flick’s team did not slow down and offered one of their most complete performances of the course, combining verticality, high pressure and devastating effectiveness in attack.
From minute 6, Barça imposed its authority. Ferminin a state of grace, opened the scoring after an assist from Pedri. The Spaniard made it 2-0 shortly after with an unstoppable shot that left the Greek goalkeeper with no options.
Barca’s difference was reduced by Moroccan Ayoub El Kaabi (53) from a penalty.
However, the expulsion of Argentine Santiago Hezze (57) ended the Greek hopes of turning the match around.
The Barça dominance was total, with Pedri brilliant in the organization and Lamine Yamal unbalancing on the right wing.
Yamal himself joined the party with a penalty goal, breaking a scoring drought, confirming his maturity despite his young age. Marcus Rashford added two to the tally.
The fans, who filled Montjuic on a night with a European atmosphere, bid farewell to the team with applause and chants of “Barça, Barça!” The connection between Flick and his players seems to be consolidated: the team shows freshness, aggressiveness in pressing and an efficiency that is reminiscent of the club’s best times.
Barça thus adds its second victory in the Champions League after beating Newcastle (1-2) on the first day and losing to Paris Saint-Germain on the second (1-2).
The message is clear: Barça believes again. And if he maintains this level, he will be a fearsome rival when the moment of truth arrives in Europe.
