Fermin Lopez
While FC Barcelona has been wanting for star midfielder Dani Olmo to return, ace prodigy Fermin Lopez, with his display against Bayern, has provided strong contention for the number 10 role. So far, the 2024/25 campaign had been much underwhelming for Fermin, who lacked game time and then fell to injuries, but the 21-year-old has announced his comeback, as he stood outstanding for Barca in his debut start in the number 10 position.
Moments into the kickoff, Fermin played a perfect through ball for Raphinha, who put it past Manuel Neuer to give Barca the go-ahead lead. Moreover, after a difficult phase for the Blaugrana club, which saw Bayern at the top of the game, the Spanish prodigy was key in exciting Barca's comeback. Receiving a brilliant ball from prodigy star Lamine Yamal, Fermin, with a beautiful touch, created an open goal for star forward Lewandowski, who regained the lead for the Blaugrana club. Overall, with his crucial two goal contributions, Fermin marked a memorable debut start this season in Barcelona's 4-1 win over Bayern.
