The Barça Wonderkid Nobody Expected 

one of my favourite player this season and he kind of reminds me of ivan rakitic.

Fermín is what we expected from Pablo Torre

Barca needs to realize that though, he is different, he has what we need especially that the majority of teams we play against are going to park the bus. The agressivity of fermin and gavi is what we need

Lmao bro ima be real I haven’t seen any Barca fans throw any hate to Fermin for anything this season. we all love his passion and tanacity

Fermin Lopez went from playing in the 3rd tier of Spanish football to shining in the first team for Barcelona. This season all the talk has been around Lamine Yamal and Pau Cubarsi and it makes sense, another young player who’s been very impressive in the 2023-24 season has been Lopez. In his first full season at Barcelona despite being 21 years old he has around 10+ goals and he doesn’t even start every game. For his development it’s great that he doesn’t start every game and him not getting called up to the national team because Barcelona and Spain have had a history when it comes to mismanaging their young players and I don’t think they’ve learned from their mistakes. He’s more of a CAM a midfielder who’s had to spend some of his games out wide even if that’s not his natural position. He can be utilized in different positions and it’s rare to see a midfielder at Barcelona who’s a goalscoring threat because all of them sit behind the ball whenever they have possession. This season Barcelona have struggled with injuries particularly in the midfield as some of their key midfielders have spent a chunk of the season without kicking a ball, Pedri has been in and out of the team, he can’t be relied on fully and often doesn’t play 90 minutes, Gavi hasn’t played since November due to him recovering from an ACL injury, Frenkie de Jong has been ravaged with injuries and they’re considering selling him in the summer. Without the injuries, I don’t know how much he would’ve been playing and it’s great that he’s made the most of his opportunity and even when everyone is fit he deserves a more significant role. Combined with the fact that Ilkay Gundogan is aging and isn’t getting any younger, he’ll get more and more minutes in the future. He is a special player and can you imagine how good he’ll be next season assuming his role doesn’t get limited when everyone is fit.

Fermin will be immense for us in the next 10-15 years, I just know it 🤩

It is good that he is not getting too many minutes despite being so bright and offering such a unique set of skills, because that way he is less likely to burn out. This is a huge chance Barca should not let fall out of their hands.

Fermin has been our find of the season ❤

You forgot to mention his headers accuracy and how many goals and crossbars he has from headers , he's always in the right position for crosses

Would love a video on sergi roberto. Not quite good this season or recently but his contributions for the club’s history is WAY too underappreciated

I remember early in the season when he scored that banger in preseason. Everyone raved abt Gavi and Pedri, and though they deserve it, I was so excited for him. He just had that factor, I would get so excited seeing him come on as a sub during the season because I know he would impact positively. Deserves his flowers

I think what sets him a apart the most, is that he is grounded. He was never praised as the next big thing, and this is good for him

I remember his first goal for Barca in Pre-season,He scored a banger💥

He is very intense, and isn’t scared to shoot, also he isn’t the tallest but he always finds his way into the best spots to header.

Our very own Lampard

When he scored that banger in the el clasico friendly, I knew he was going places.

I really love how you are one of the few Barça journalists/content creator that keeps talking about the players, the games, performance, tactics and actual football!! Thank you for all your content! Keep it up!

Fermin is one of the few players this season who hasn't been afraid to run with a ball or truly run after a ball and press it. At the moment he's an absolute starter and it's not even close. His finishing is also by far among the best in the squad. In modern day football just being technical isn't going to cut it, we need physical pressers who are also reasonably technical and Gavi/Fermin are far better at that than Pedri or FDJ. A midfield with a creative CDM + Gavi & Fermin would absolutely smother opponents, giving our forwards way more opportunities to excell and create goals because the ball arrives quicker when there is still space and not a parked bus (which happens with FDJ/Pedri keeping the ball way too long). In that scenario, someone like Pedri is the kind of player to sub in the moment the opponent is tired, so they get time on the ball and abuse space left by tiredness with a splitting passes. That's why, above all, we need a technical CDM with a great quick pass and ability to eliminate his direct opponent so that we needn't sacrifice CAM/CM/RM/LM for a creative technical player who ruins a proper press and slows down the play. Our forwards need to create, the Xavi-Iniesta-Busquets days are over, La Liga has allowed rugby to be acceptable in pressing so it just would never work again. We'd be far better off playing with a false 9 then if we need more creativity in the middle if our midfield is too physical. If we need to make sales, I'd sell one of FDJ/Pedri way before I ever dared considering selling someone like Fermin or Gavi. If we ever want to be on top of Europe again, we only need players who will fight to their teeth for the badge. Everyone else can go.

You’re so critical,I rarely see you give a player their deserved credits

Arda Guler who? Fermin clears

Fermin Lopez is tooo much similar to Thomas muller, Thomas muller is underrated and no one marks him and neglects him but he hides behind famous players and show his best by blending in Fermin Lopez is completely that

Unpopular opinion here, I think fermin should try the number 10 more, because I see him as a game changer/decider for Barcelona.

Fermin Lopez what a player, from that classico goal, he made his mark

One of my favorite players and I hope he continues to grow.

People keep talking about Gavi and Pedri but i think Pablo Torre and Fermin under a proper Manager could hit insane heights they're just so different tho i still i think Barcelona need to sign Physical and Tall players like Partey. Just look at Real Madrid, Man City and Arsenal's Squad, very tall, physical and Technical Players Barcelona is just too fragile.

Fermin's talent will be wasted. Barca doesn't like midfielders like Fermin and we don't know how to use them. He would be a beast in any other team.

4:58 A lot of them i dont even consider real fans, the way they flip flop is insane.

Can't wait to see him under Flick. He's is gonna be a MONSTER

Bro Barca needs more players like Fermin, very active and energetic. Barca always fucks up in big ucl games cause we are slow, not physical enough and dont score our chances. The slow build up play and short passing should be switched up to faster playing style through players like gavi and fermin. It is more entertaining to watch and it produced better result. 9 years without ucl just proves the Barca old system is washed.

With the quality that he possess he can easily sign for other great teams like Atlético de Madrid, I hope Barca appreciates him as we lack aggressive goal driven midfielder for tough games

I typically think wanting to replicate the midfield trio of iniesta, xavi, and busquets is one of the reasons why this team might not be able to play good consistently. Barca needs players like Fermin who just pop out of nowhere to score

My favorite midfildier rn, even more than Pedri and Gavi and Frenkie and Gundo even goated preseason Romeu

Fermins passing is amazing

He deserves to get nominated for the Golden Boy award

Fermin, pedri, gavi, frenkie, gundogan. Eventually a pivot, pau prim/marc bernal, noah darvich and some other la masia kids. They wont all make it but rn we`re seeing a new crazy generational talents. Hopefully we can fill our first team in 5 years with la masia talents and be debt free

Fermin lopez is rekitic replacement we never thought we would want......but if it brings good for the team .....then it's way better.....✌️✌️

Hes doing good job👍 Vamos Fermin 👏🏼

he is arthur vidal of lamasia version. lets keep him .

since i first saw him play vs madrid i knew hed be a gem

I hope people will remember that xavi was the one who showed fermin And stopped Cubarsi from going to man city

He reminds me of Gavi😔💔🩵.

He got that dawg in him

Pretty sure Fermín is right footed, but other than that, agreed!

Same stats as Xavi Simon’s btw. Mostly coming off the bench. Give him all his praise

While people were lookin on Yamal Fermin was cooking his own recipe up the more he's on field

I just hope these fans won’t switch up on him when the goals cease for a moment

the funniest description of fermin i've heard is "fermin is how madrid fans think gavi plays"

Fermin is right footed bro. You made it seem like he uses the left in that part where you said sum like "he has a rocket of a left foot and a good weak foot as well"

I feel like Undr Hansi Flick this team full of youngsters can shock everyone. Laporta the dog should get Flick in quick while hes available.

Gavi, De Jong and Pedri injuries destroyed the midfield this year. Lopez seems more like a striker to me.

This was the same thing riqui puig. He put more speed in the midfield.

His 1st line proved he has watched none of the games pf barcelona

You really represent my pov

Curious what you think about the new Xavi situation. You think he should stay or leave? (I'm for him staying)

5:00 perfect example of Raphinha. Let’s be honest, he’s not a good player. He’s been terrible last season and this season up until the PSG drawing. He should be sold this summer. Another great example is Frenkie, he has been amazing for us and was our best midfielder until he got hurt against Bilbao, then he came back, played like 2 games and didn’t perform too well and all of a sudden he’s getting a lot of undeserved hate. He is a player that we should NOT consider selling. And for those saying he doesn’t score or assist enough, guess what, football isn’t only about scoring and assisting. Some of the best midfielders in the history of football hardly ever scored or assisted. And for those saying he slows the game down too much and passes the ball backwards too much, open your damn eyes, even his passing statistics proves y’all wrong.

Man Fermin deserved more minutes, hopefully he gets more chance next season. However, with all this drama that’s going on right now not sure.

Robby, hello from Chicago! I’m curious, where are you from given this upload time?

Sell Ferrán, Raphinha, Gundogan and Frenkie de Jong, Buy a top defensive midfielder, play 4-2-3-1 with Gavi and the new signing in the double DM role, and Fermin, Pedri and Lamine in the line of 3. Lewandowski/Tigrinho at the 9 slot. That should be the cheapest way to reset Barça without spending a lot of money.

do a video on joao felix he play good and still get backlash because he doesn't make an impact in 10 minutes

Good stuff, glad your channel was recommended to me! Who are your favorite players in Barca, all time and currently? :)

In the past few years Barca has so many wonderkids in their pocket. Most of the disappeared extremely demotivated and frustrated Ansu Fatti is one of them. All of a sudden Pedri is ther most talented player.What are the doinG with all this topclass players.

He is right footed hahahah

unpopular opinion , i would to see him as a false nine/ st

I wish we get to see a different barca next year

I think we all love and defend Fermin

I ABSOLUTELY LOOOVE FERMIN!!

That jersey is so tuff

Fermin is younger than Pedri, but older than Gavi. Pedri is from 02, Fermin from 03, and Gavi from 04 If Xavi does leave, and Hansi Flick comes in, I think Flick will put him behind the striker, kinda similar to Muller, running in behind the defense when an opportunity arises, not the exact same as the Raumdeuter role since he isn't Müller, but I personally think it could work, but I don't think if Flick is our manager, Laporta would allow it since he insists the use of 4-3-3.

lol, calm down Rob😂

waiting for aa9skillz to react to this😂😂😂😂

Could you make a video about gavi

Barça never appreciated him, get him to betis or Sevilla, he would be a star better than gavi and pedri if he plays for real betis or sevilla. Massive talent

He is special Just needs minutes

It all depends on a coach

All good but he’s not left footed😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Hes right footed, and hes younger than pedri

He has high intensity good running, pressing ability and can score. but I do not believe e will be a regular starter for barca. he lacks passing and ability with the ball. but a great player to have in the squad

I love your content robby lou ❤

Real Madrid fan here, absolutely love your content, never going to subscribe tho 😂

Fermin has the similer traits as Muller but much aggresive one

You still don't rate him Wtf is he's still different Wtf is if he keeps scoring goals Hasn't he out scored Pedri and FDJ combined This BARÇA DNA Bs is why Barça are where they are now Flick has to change that

Nobody criticized Fermin. Stop the non sense. He wasn't getting minutes. It was Xavi's mistake and not his. And his better xg is because of him getting to right places and they are were not cake walks if u actually watched the game. To me he is an extraordinary and dynamic player and i would start him ahead of pedri when gundo plays r even play him as false 9

Whatever we say, we all know that next season Barca will sell Fermin. Because they don't know how to take risk with their players. They don't give freedom too. Same will happen with hector font and other la masia players like marc giue

As a Barça fan since the age of 8, i truly want to sell Roque and Garcia. I never understood why we bought Roque because his technicallity isn't good enough for Barca + Marc Guiu is better. I want Barca to discontinue Cancelo's loan and sell: Peña, Lenglet, Romeu, Torres, Roque, Raphinha, Martinez, Dest, Fati, Eric Garcia and Fermin (BC of Gavi & Gundo). And LOAN OUT or SELL: Riad, Valle, J. Araujo, Torre (from loanspells). I also think that we should sell R. Araujo for any offer higher than 90 million because his positioning and defensive awerenes/IQ is bad. Maybe sell Christensen but he isn't bad imo. Barca need to BUY or LOAN: 2 Left CB's (Araujo leaves), 1 LW, RW, CDM, GK and keep Felix or buy a ST. + Don't renew Alonso & Roberto. Barca will have Fort (RB), Guiu, Faye (LB) & Casadó as reserve players.

The kit ? Lou

What Barca kit is that is looks fire

Tbf his form “slipped” when the whole Barcelona team was playing dogshit

Older than pedri?? SIR

Fermin is more direct

Bro is Xavi sacked ?

Wonder kid??? We need to stop calling every single kid that comes out the academy the next Iniesta. These are just kids that will buckle under the unrealistic pressure of being a generational player. Some of you def did not witness Barca pre Messi and have this deluded expectation. We need to wake up, our academy is no longer the best, playing La Masía players along w older players on free transfer will get us more trophy-less season. We need to stop comparing ourselves to the best in Europe and aim for Copa Del Rey till we get massive wages off the books and clear debt.

Laporta is a clown

Let's gooo

Wonderkid? Nope…. Squad player…..not a starter

first.

he ghost when barca need him.. scoring against almeria who cares when season is over and we talking about him as he is on yamal age . he is 21 older than jude beli

I would not sell this kid for any amount of money. I rather sell Lewa, Gundogan, Christenden, Romeu, Lenglet, Dest, Alonso, Raphinha, Ingo Marinez.

Here we go overhyping another barca youngster

Let's gooo
