BARCELONA.- Barcelona rediscovered victory by beating Brest 3-0 this Tuesday on the fifth day of the single group of the Champions Leaguethanks to a double from Robert Lewandowski and a goal from Dani Olmo.
Lewandowski, 36, did not forgive from the maximum penalty in the 9th minute, after a foul in the area committed on Pedri, to score his 100th goal. The Pole did not fail his appointment to belong to the select group of those who reached this figure, where the Argentine Lionel Messi (129) and the Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo (140) stand out.
Fermín had a couple of dangerous chances a few minutes before the end of the first half to increase the lead, but he collided with the rival goalkeeper on both occasions.
After the restart, German coach Hansi Flick’s pupils continued trying, but without success in the early stages.
Lewandowski backheeled a ball into the area for the Andalusian in the 53rd minute, but his shot again ran into the foot of visiting goalkeeper Marco Bizot, who was being the best on his team.
The second goal came from attacker Dani Olmo, who shot from point-blank range, but Brandon Chardonnet saved the goal between the sticks in the 61st minute.
New try, better result
However, the Spanish international came out of the pocket a little after receiving a ball inside the area, getting away from his defender and finishing wonderfully against Bizot.
The linesman let Brest play despite a clear offside by the French-Portuguese Mathias Pereira Lage, who scored a beautiful goal after a cross shot in a one-on-one with Iñaki Peña.
Before finishing, Lewandowski scrambled near the goal to take a shot at the long post and add the third goal to the scoreboard.
With this victory, the Catalans provisionally rose to second position in the competition table.
