Fermín López scored his first goal of the season in his 50th game for Barça

FC Barcelona have a midfield full of talent and alternatives and Fermín López 'paid' the consequences of this this Wednesday against Red Star. The Andalusian started the match from the bench as Hansi Flick opted for Frenkie de Jong as a companion to the 'untouchables' Pedri and Marc Casadó, although the Andalusian came onto the field with half an hour to go and managed to leave his mark on the match.

The midfielder entered the field in place of Raphinha in the 58th minute and less than 20 minutes later he added his name to the statistics. With the match completely decided, the Andalusian received a cross from Jules Koundé inside the Serbian area and sent the ball into the back of the net, thus scoring his first goal of the season.

Fermín reached 50 games as a culé

Fermín thus celebrated his 50th official match with Barça. So far this season, the player from El Campillo has played eight matches and, in addition to the goal scored on Wednesday, has provided two assists. López is having a season of success after his 'explosion' at the Olympic Games with the Spanish under-21 team, where he was the star of the gold medal won by La Rojita.

The Catalans showed their confidence in him by renewing his contract until June 30, 2029, and after overcoming a couple of injuries that kept him on the sidelines for much of the start of the season, the footballer is beginning to respond on the field.
