"That, however, could not be further away from the truth, as the player has now become Barcelona's most important player in the attacking midfield and a de facto starter ahead of Olmo. His decision to stay at the club, needless to say, has borne fruit. So far this season, the youngster has made three starts in the UEFA Champions League and four starts in La Liga."
"His wonderful spell began in the UEFA Champions League clash against Olympiacos, where he scored a stunning hat-trick to lead the side to a win. Fermin then scored the team's only goal against Real Madrid in El Clasico and racked up a brace of assists against Elche. Last night, he added two more assists to his kitty in the team's draw against Club Brugge and now has six goals and four assists across all competitions this season."
Fermin Lopez was linked with a summer departure but remained and has become Barcelona's most important attacking midfielder and a de facto starter ahead of Dani Olmo. He has made three UEFA Champions League starts and four La Liga starts this season despite missing over a month through injury. He returned as a substitute against Girona and then started four consecutive games, producing four goals and four assists in that run. He scored a Champions League hat-trick against Olympiacos, netted Barcelona's only goal in El Clasico, assisted twice against Elche and twice against Club Brugge, totaling six goals and four assists. His finishing, ball striking and energy have elevated his importance in Flick's plans.
