🚨 Fermin Lopez was widely expected to slip down the pecking order after Dani Olmo’s arrival at Barcelona last season.
But instead of shrinking under the pressure, he elevated his game to an entirely new level under Flick.
That transformation is clearly reflected in his output:
• Leads all midfielders in goal contributions (20) this season
• 7 G/A in 6 Champions League matches this season
• Second-highest offensive impact at Barcelona (statistically)
• 37 goal contributions in 36 starts since the start of last season.
Right now, there’s a serious argument to be made: Fermin Lopez is the best attacking midfielder in the world.
