Hi community!
And he would have scored a goal per game if his valid goal against Madrid hadn't been disallowed.
For some Barça players, the season may be dragging on, and they may be coming in somewhat short of strength after a tremendous effort that has been rewarded with La Liga, Copa del Rey, and Spanish Super Cup titles. However, other players who didn't get much playing time in the first half of the season due to injuries or simply not finding their place in Hansi Flick's system are finishing the season at an exceptional level. This is the case with Fermín López, who, had Barça qualified for the Champions League final, would surely have been in the starting lineup. Nobody has his spark right now, and he demonstrated it again against Villarreal with a superb first half that saw him make it 2-1 shortly before halftime.
The 22-year-old midfielder, who had already created three chances, unleashed a decisive left-footed shot from the edge of the box that curled just inside the post.
It's Fermín's third goal in the last four matches, having scored the decisive 2-1 draw at Valladolid and sealing the 2-0 draw against Espanyol in the title game. It would have been four out of four, but against Real Madrid (4-3), he had a 5-3 goal ruled out in stoppage time for a rebound off a handball that referees, relying on the rules for a subsequent play, agreed should have been allowed. He has five goals in La Liga, all in 2025.
