Barcelona Strike Early Against Olympiacos
Barcelona have taken an early 1–0 lead over Olympiacos in their UEFA Champions League encounter.
The breakthrough came in the 7th minute, when FermĂn LĂłpez found himself perfectly positioned inside the box to fire home the opener. The Spaniard showed great composure, slotting the ball past several defenders to put Barça ahead.
Lamine Yamal was heavily involved in the move, showcasing his trademark dribbling as he weaved his way into the penalty area. Although the Olympiacos goalkeeper managed to get a touch attempting to dispossess Yamal, the loose ball fell kindly to FermĂn, who made no mistake in converting from close range.
There was brief debate over whether Yamal would be credited with an assist, but replays confirmed that the ball made contact with his foot just before López’s finish — meaning the young winger does indeed get the assist.
