Robert Lewandowski became the third player in history to reach 100 Champions League goals as Barcelona dominated Brest with a 3-0 victory.
Lewandowski's milestone came early, converting a penalty in the 10th minute after being fouled by Brest goalkeeper Marco Bizot.
Dani Olmo doubled the lead with a composed finish after a brilliant first touch, scoring his first Champions League goal for Barcelona. Lewandowski sealed the win with his second goal, spinning in the box and slotting into the bottom corner for his 101st goal in the competition.
Barcelona controlled the game with 77% possession, limiting Brest to no shots on target. Despite a disallowed goal for Brest and missed chances for Barcelona’s Pablo Torre and Olmo, the win moved Barcelona to second in the league phase table, with Brest slipping to eighth.
