"I think the two goals we conceded in the first half wouldn't have happened in the league. Fermín's runs behind the defense are incredible; I've never seen anything like it and I've probably never played against a better player in this respect,"
"He's a fantastic player. The decision was his, and I'm happy he stayed,"
"He's a player who lives and breathes Barcelona and has that Barcelona DNA. I really appreciated his performance today."
Fermín López, a 22-year-old Barcelona midfielder, scored twice to help Barcelona beat Slavia Prague 4-2 in the Champions League. Two first-half goals conceded by Slavia were described as unlikely to occur in league play. Fermín's runs behind the defense were called incredible and unmatched by an opponent. Hansi Flick praised Fermín as a fantastic player, noted that the decision to remain at Barcelona was the player's, and expressed satisfaction that Fermín stayed despite Chelsea interest last summer. Flick emphasized that Fermín embodies Barcelona DNA and appreciated his performance.
