The young forward of FCBarcelona, Fermín López, once again starred in the sports press after his stellar performance against Alavés, where he scored and assisted in a “double six” that equals his number of official goals and assists. In the match, which ended 6‑1 in favor of Barça, the 19-year-old player was dominant throughout the 90 minutes, putting pressure on opposing defenders and creating numerous opportunities. Two of his assists were decisive, sending the ball to Raphinha for the 1‑0 and 3‑0 goals, and his own 2‑0 goal showed his quality and power in attack.
This “double six” includes five goals and five assists in the League, plus one from each category in the Champions League, although the El Campillo player failed to take advantage of an opportunity in Adeyemi's fantasy action. Among those who benefited from his passes were Raphinha, Lamine, Rodri and Espart, and his participation was also felt in the 4‑2 at the Parc des Princes against PSG, where Fermín missed a penalty that left a bitter taste.
López's performance has caught the attention of several clubs, including Manchester United, which seeks to reinforce its attack with "revulsive" players. The Old Trafford team has shown interest in the youngster, but Fermín has made it clear that he has no intention of leaving the club. In a television interview on TV3, after the game against Alavés, the player responded to questions about the possible transfer by saying: "I don't pay attention to this type of news. I want to be at Barça as much as possible and I hope to finish my career at this club."
Barça, which now lacks a playmaker after Dani Olmo's injury, plans to face Aston Villa in the return to the Champions League next Tuesday at 9:00 p.m. at the Camp Nou. Fermín's performance on the last day of the season has reinforced the team's confidence in his youth and his ability to compete at the European level. With the season still underway, the club hopes that the forward will continue his streak of goals and assists, while the rest of the squad prepares for the challenge that the meeting with the English club represents.
