16 - Fermín López

[Maradona37]

Not that surprising. There haven't been many prolific Spanish strikers in the CL era, other than Raul, Torres and Villa.

The most amazing stat is:

First Spanish player with a hattrick in CL... EVER.

Raul had it, Pichi Alonso scored one with us in the 80's (under different name)

Raphinha - Rashford - Yamal
Fermin

Starting front 4. For now. Rashford clearly not perfect in this position but he can score and offers some dynamism that both Ferran and Lewa desperately lack. If Rashford form drops bench him and start Ferran.

 

[Barcaman]

To be fair, isn't this the first time he's done anything good for ages? Thread is a bit knee jerk, lol.

Should wait and see if he can have a good season, rather than rate players on one-off games.

He's been good for us for 3rd season now. Beyond those goals there's his immense pressing and running aspect that is essential to Flick's system.

 

[behindbrowneyes]

Not surprising tbh. Was just unlucky against Girona, but you could already see that his shooting is sharp.

Most dangerous player apart from attackers.

Ok fair enough.

I still maintain a premium level team doesn't have Fermin Lopez as a starter. Maybe I just have high standards. But I guess we will find out more in the next decade.

Might be the starting of winning the AMC battle.

Been a bit stop/start for the pair so far, but has hit the ground running since returning from injury, and that performance in the game where he got injured, looked a turning point for me. Was great at pivot, even if he really didn't need to go going so intense leading to injury.

Couldn't give two craps about what happened second half against 10 men.

But Fermin's demeanor seems to have changed past 3 games.

He's pushing himself to be a starter, while Olmo has either been injured or wet pancake this season.

 

[Skalman]

Well at least he has an eye for goal, needed today.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

He has that killer in him. That's a positive many Barca player lacks.

 

[delancey]

Haterz gonna hate

 

[BerkeleyBernie]

He has that killer in him. That's a positive many Barca player lacks.

I've always seen him as a disruptor. He challenges defenses and pulls them out of shape. Controlled aggression, and with the technical ability to turn opportunities into goals. Respect.
