Barcelona churned out a 3-0 win over Brest last night at Montjuic, finally stopping the bleeding and getting a much-needed win.
The Catalans opened the scoring early through Robert Lewandowski from the penalty spot but were then forced into a queer situation where they had numerous chances but simply could not find the finishing touch.
After plenty of chances missed, Dani Olmo netted Barcelona’s second goal of the night past the hour mark before the Polish striker again scored in extra-time to put the final nail in the coffin.
The win takes Barcelona provisionally to second place on the table, only behind Inter Milan, and they sit pretty with 12 points after five games. Liverpool and Monaco have a chance to overtake them, however, as they have a game in hand.
