FC Barcelona playmaker Fermín López celebrated his header in the 1‑2 against Galatasaray, highlighting the connection with his teammate Lamine Yamal. "Lamine is a friend and a great teammate. When he has it, he always looks for the unmarking because he sees me and looks for me. He is the best in the world and has a lot of quality," explained the forward. "I would give half of my goal to Lamine Yamal. It was a gift! But for me, it's incredible to score goals. It's always special to score for Barça."
Fermín recalled that the team is “at a very high level,” but warned that the season is long and that “there is no point in relaxing.” “We are in good momentum and working well, but we don't have to relax and continue like this,” he added. The club's forward line has shown good form in the first matches, although the schedule becomes more demanding in the coming days.
The forward pointed out that next month presents “a complicated week” with matches against very difficult rivals. “We are prepared and we are going to try to win all the remaining games this month,” he assured. "It's only the beginning of the season, and we know that eventually we can hit a slump. For now, we have to enjoy our good form and continue like this."
Regarding the match itself, Fermín commented that Galatasaray's goal “was strange with that goal of theirs even though we dominated.” However, Barça managed to come back and manage the match until victory. The playmaker concluded that the connection with Yamal and the attitude of the squad are key to maintaining performance in the next matches.
