(MENAFN) Polish striker Robert Lewandowski played a pivotal role in Barcelona's 3-0 victory over French side Brest in their UEFA Champions League match on Tuesday. The 36-year-old forward was in scintillating form, scoring twice in the match, with his first goal coming in the 10th minute and his second in injury time at the 92nd minute. His early goal put Barcelona in control, while his late strike sealed the dominant win, demonstrating his clinical finishing and leadership on the field. Lewandowski’s contribution was crucial as Barcelona extended their unbeaten run in the competition.
Spanish forward Dani Olmo also made his mark, adding to the scoreline with a well-taken goal in the 66th minute to put the hosts 2-0 up. Olmo’s goal came after a precise assist, showcasing the team’s fluid attacking play. Barcelona’s offensive movement and precision were evident throughout the game, with the trio of Lewandowski, Olmo, and the rest of the squad combining effectively to control the match. The Catalan club’s dominance was clear as they maintained their composure and defensive solidity while pushing forward to add more goals.
With the win, Barcelona moved into second place in their group with 12 points, solidifying their position as one of the top teams in the competition. The victory has put them in a strong position to progress further in the Champions League, with their attacking prowess and defensive organization making them one of the favorites. Barcelona’s continued success, led by Lewandowski, indicates their growing strength and depth as they aim to make a deep run in the tournament this season.
On the other hand, Brest, who came into the match with hopes of a strong performance, were unable to break down Barcelona’s defense or create any significant chances. Despite showing glimpses of potential, Brest struggled to contain the attacking threat posed by Barcelona’s frontline and were ultimately punished for their defensive lapses. Brest remain in 9th place with 10 points, and while they have had a solid campaign, they will need to regroup and improve their performances in future matches to advance further in the competition.
