Fermín López, Barcelona's 'secret weapon' against Real Madrid

Fermín López will be a very important player for FC Barcelona this season thanks to his consistency, versatility and commitment every time he is on the pitch. He demonstrated all of this, for example, in the Champions League match against Bayern Munich, but also in the Clásicos he played against Real Madrid.

The midfielder started for the first time this season against Bayern Munich and responded to Hansi Flick's trust on the pitch with a double of assists. The Andalusian midfielder, who had only played 81 minutes before the match against the Bavarians, demonstrated his quality and confirmed that he is ready to be a protagonist in this super team.

Fermín could be a very interesting piece against Real Madrid. This more vertical and intense football could be the perfect catalyst for a match that Barça wants to win no matter what to give LaLiga a first blow.

Fermin Lopez has Madrid's measure

Fermin became known in a pre-season Clásico in the United States. There, the Barça youth player scored a real goal with a great long-range shot that went into the top corner, and with his left foot, his less skilled leg.

And last season he scored his first official goal against the Merengues at the Santiago Bernabéu. In the 69th minute of the Madrid-Barça game on matchday 32 of the League, the midfielder took advantage of a cross from Lamine Yamal that was ineffectively cleared by Lunin. The Barça youth player was very quick to finish at goal.

His celebration, with the euphoria that meant the 1-2 in the match, could be seen with a celebration that included jumping over the fence and looking at the public, beating his chest and kissing the Barça crest, earning himself a name in the first team, and especially in the Clásicos.
