Fermin Lopez made history with a hat-trick for Barcelona.

Lopez became the first Spanish player to net a hat-trick for Barcelona in one game.

Barcelona’s rising star, Fermin Lopez, etched his name into both the league and club history by scoring a hat-trick in a commanding victory over Olympiacos at Montjuic Stadium in the Champions League. This achievement marked him as the first Spanish player to score three goals in a Champions League match for Barcelona.

Fermin Lopez opened the scoring following a well-executed play by Lamine Yamal and added a second goal five minutes before halftime, securing Barcelona’s control of the game.

Barcelona extended their lead after Olympiacos was reduced to ten men, with goals from Lamine Yamal and Marcus Rashford, and Lopez completed his hat-trick with another brilliant finish.

These goals made it a memorable night for Fermin Lopez, who was starting his first match since returning from injury. He is expected to start again on Sunday when Barcelona visits Santiago Bernabeu to face Real Madrid in El Clasico.

Fermin Lopez continues to demonstrate his importance to Barcelona, having scored 5 goals in just 8 appearances across all competitions. With his excellent attacking skills, versatility, and superior fitness, he is one of the most promising young midfielders in Europe.

Despite numerous transfer rumors last summer, not only the management but also sporting director Deco and coach Hansi Flick have confirmed that Fermin Lopez is not for sale. The German coach praises the 21-year-old midfielder as a complete player capable of pressing, defending, and creating explosive moments inside the box — qualities that helped Barca succeed last season.
