Barca took full advantage when the Greek champion went down to 10 men after a contentious red card for Santiago Hezze in the second half — scoring four goals to complete the rout.
It was Lopez's first hat trick of his career, with Lamine Yamal also on the scoresheet from the penalty spot.
Olympiakos had no answer when Hezze was shown a second yellow card in the 57th minute, despite replays appearing to show he did not make contact with Marc Casado, who was trying to pull him back.
Just three minutes earlier, the visitors had got back into the game at 2-1 after Ayoub El Kaabi's penalty.
Two clinical finishes from Lopez had given Barcelona a 2-0 halftime lead. Then with the extra man the Spanish champion overwhelmed Olympiakos with four goals in 11 minutes - starting with Yamal's spot kick.
Rashford, on loan from Manchester United, now has four goals in three games in the Champions League this season.
