Fermín López played as a guest striker for Barcelona, scoring two goals in eight minutes. This impressive display came after López had a difficult summer, missing the World Cup due to an injury. However, he has bounced back with a vengeance, offering himself as a false striker and impressing the coaches with his top form.
Mundo Deportivo praised López's dedication and hard work, describing his performance as truly outstanding. Diario AS also commended López's display, highlighting his excellent passes to his teammates. López's impressive showing has led to speculation that Barcelona may not need to sign a striker, with the team having enough solutions in Adeyemi, Fermín, Olmo, and Gordon.
