FC Barcelona may not have been playing their best football in recent weeks, but one player performing at a very high level is Fermin Lopez.
The 22-year-old Spaniard, ever since returning from injury a few weeks ago, has been unstoppable. He has been scoring and providing assists for fun.
Against Club Brugge in the 3-3 draw last night, Fermin provided two assists, including a mind-blowing reverse backheel to Lamine Yamal for Barcelona’s second goal of the night.
It was a goal for the reels that will be spoken about for a long time. According to [Mundo Deportivo](https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/fc-barcelona/20251105/1002564246/fermin-agitador-titular-nadie-discute.html), a string of impressive performances has now allowed Fermin to establish himself as a regular starter.
In ten games across all competitions this season, Fermin has scored six goals and provided four assists. He is never shy of taking a shot and often finds himself in excellent attacking positions.
One thing Fermin will want to add to his game is better decision-making. He needs to understand when to pass and when to shoot, which would make him even more effective.
The 22-year-old’s passing is a very underrated skill and needs to be used more often. Fermin can find attackers in tight spaces, as he did with Yamal last night.
If Fermin can remain fit and maintain this form, he has the potential to be a 20-goals-a-season midfielder. It all comes down to application, and we will have to wait and see how his development progresses.
