Following his exceptional display in the 6-1 win over Olympiacos earlier this week, FC Barcelona attacking midfielder Fermin Lopez has been named the UEFA Champions League Player of the Week for Matchday 3.
The 22-year-old La Masia graduate was back in the starting lineup for Barça for the first time since returning from his injury and was the star of the show as the hosts secured a resounding win over the Greek giants.
Fermin finished the game with a fine hat-trick – having opened the scoring for his team with a neat finish in the first period before making it 2-0 minutes before half-time.
The Spanish international’s third goal came in the second half, with a fine left-footed volley after some fine work by Roony Bardghji.

Fermin’s special performance at Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys has now earned him the UEFA Champions League Player of the Week award.
It is the second time that a Barcelona player has won the prize this season, after Marcus Rashford bagged the award on Matchday 1 after his brace against Newcastle United at St. James’ Park.
The Spaniard beat Felix Nmecha, Gorka Guruzeta, and Dennis Man to the award.
Fermin will hope to carry forward the form into the weekend’s El Clasico at the Santiago Bernabeu.
