**Barcelona, Spain** – FC Barcelona secured a convincing 3-0 victory over previously unbeaten Brest in the Champions League, moving into second place in their group. Robert Lewandowski stole the show, scoring two goals, including his 100th and 101st Champions League goals, bringing his season tally to 22 across all competitions.
Lewandowski broke the deadlock in the first half, converting a penalty after being fouled by Brest’s goalkeeper. Despite dominating possession, Barça struggled to add to their lead before halftime, with several near misses.
The second half saw more of the same attacking dominance from Hansi Flick’s side. A superb team goal, culminating in a strike from Olmo, extended Barça’s lead to 2-0. Brest pushed for a comeback, but a resolute Barça defence, anchored by Iñaki Peña, Pau Cubarsí, and Iñigo Martínez, thwarted their attempts. A late Lewandowski strike sealed the 3-0 victory and his Champions League century.
The win, coming a day after the club’s 125th anniversary celebrations, boosts Barça’s confidence as they prepare for their upcoming La Liga match against Las Palmas. The three points are crucial as they continue their Champions League campaign.
