Marcus Rashford is blazing in Spain — and the world is watching! The English forward struck twice as Barcelona steamrolled Olympiacos 6–1 on Tuesday night, with midfield prodigy Fermín López stealing the spotlight with a hat-trick in a vintage Champions League display.
It was total dominance from Hansi Flick’s fearless men, who looked reborn after their recent European stumble against PSG. Even without heavyweights Lewandowski and Raphinha, Barça produced a football masterclass at the Olympic Stadium — and they did it in ruthless fashion.
Rashford, on loan from Manchester United, showed exactly why Barcelona fought hard to bring him to Camp Nou. His pace, precision, and hunger shredded the Greek champions’ defence as he netted twice in six minutes, leaving goalkeeper Tzolakis helpless.
López kicked off the goal fest with two sharp finishes in the first half before teenage wonder Lamine Yamal calmly converted from the spot to make it four. Rashford’s double soon followed — two low, deadly finishes into the near post — before López wrapped up his hat-trick to complete the destruction.
Olympiacos briefly flirted with hope after El Kaabi’s penalty, but Santiago Hezze’s red card killed any comeback dreams. From then, it was pure Catalan carnage.
For Flick, this was more than just three points it was a statement of intent ahead of Sunday’s El Clásico showdown with Real Madrid.
Rashford now has four Champions League goals this season, and if this performance is anything to go by, the Premier League may be wondering what they’ve lost.
