LEWANDOWSKI DOUBLE FIRST BARCELONA TO VICTORY
Robert Lewandowski scored his 100th and 101st UEFA Champions League goals as Barcelona saw off Brest 3-0 at home.
The Pole picked himself up to coolly convert from the penalty spot in the 10th minute, having been fouled by the visiting goalkeeper, to become the third member of the 100 Club.
Barca had scored 14 goals in their last three Champions League games but could not quite replicate that free-scoring form despite dominating possession, with Brest offering stiff resistance.
That was until Dami Olmo skipped past two defenders and scored from close range, effectively securing the victory, and Lewandowski added a third goal in added time to punish sloppy defending.
It is Brest's first defeat in the Champions League this season and means they remain on 10 points. Barcelona have 12 and climb to second in the table, for now.

End of 2nd Half
90+4'
FULL TIME: BARCELONA 3-0 BREST
Barcelona march on on a great night for Lewandowski! Two goals for him in a man-of-the-match display which condemns Brest to a first defeat of the competition. They were thoroughly outplayed, though 3-0 is perhaps harsh given how resolutely they defended for much of the game.
