If someone had told Fermín López three years ago that he would receive the Joan Gamper Trophy Best Player award on August 10, 2025, he would have dismissed them as a madman. On August 19, three years ago, Barça announced the Andalusian midfielder's loan to Linares. After losing a place in the reserve team, it was time to move abroad to develop in semi-professional football. On that day, few could have imagined that he would end up triumphing in the Blaugrana shirt. With a double against Como (5-0), Fermín showed that he wants to be a starter. With Frenkie de Jong and Pedri covering the base of the midfield, there remains one position in which Hansi Flick will have to choose between three options: Gavi, Dani Olmo – now recovered after an overload – and the player from El Campillo (Huelva). For now, the attacking midfielder has played 78 minutes in which he once again showed off one of his greatest strengths: his goal-scoring instinct.
