Barca's last season breakout star engraving his name in Spain's history books
- Fermin's masterclass at the Olympics helps Spain reach the Finals.
- With 4 Goals in the tournament, Fermin registers a record for himself.
Amidst Barca's ongoing pursuit of Dani Olmo and their US preseason tour, many Catalan players have been representing their national team at the Olympics. Among the rest, Fermin Lopez, Pau Cubarsi, and Eric Garcia are the prominent youngsters from FC Barcelona who are currently playing for Spain.
Though Pau Cubarsi and Eric Garcia have had decent performances on the national stage, Fermin Lopez has been enjoying a star-making campaign at the Paris Olympics. Netting 4 goals in 4 starts for Spain, he has been phenomenal in carrying Spain to the Finals of the 2024 Olympics.

Not to forget, Fermin's rise last season was similar to what Pau Victor's sensational breakthrough performances have been in the 2024/25 preseason. Moreover, Fermin had emerged as one of the standouts, playing a key contributing role in the attacking midfield position, netting 11 goals that season.
Though he didn't get the opportunity to represent Spain at the Euros, despite being a member of the squad, the youngster seems to showcase what he's capable of at the Olympics. Delivering a masterclass against the Moroccan national team in the semifinals, Fermin bolstered the opposition backline consistently throughout the game.
Managing two goal contributions while maintaining incredible passing accuracy combined with elegant dribbling, the Barcelona star was key to the finals for Spain. Overall, it's been a dream year for Fermin Lopez, and with a trophy already placed in the youngster's trophy cabinet, Fermin looks set to double the count.
With this performance against Morrocco in the Olympic semifinals, Fermin has registered his name in Spain's history books. Smashing 4 goals in the tournament so far, Fermin Lopez has become the first-ever Spanish individual to score 4 or more goals at the Olympics since the legendary Kiko did it in 1992.
Fermin's incredible run would be of immense importance for FC Barcelona, as due to the unavailability of De Jong and Gavi, Fermin would have the role of organizing the midfield build-ups. Being as excited as ever to represent Barca, the youngster said,
""When the Olympics are over, I will take a few days off, but not much because I want to start working with Flick and the team soon. I'm very excited for the new season, and I hope I can continue to help the club.""

Given Fermin's versatility, play runs, and the playstyle of suffocating pressure consistently, he seems to be an integral part of the new Flick's Barcelona project. The Blaugrana club would hope that he maintains his top-notch performances and remains injury-free to put up a show for FC Barcelona as well.
