    After following up a 1-0 loss to Real Sociedad with a 2-2 draw at Celta Vigo in La Liga, Barcelona returned to winning ways on Tuesday as they breezed past Brest 3-0 in the Champions League courtesy of a Robert Lewandowski brace and a goal from Dani Olmo. This was the third consecutive game that star winger Lamine Yamal missed due to his ankle injury. The Spanish sensation did not train with the team on Monday and therefore was kept out of the matchday squad.
