Fermín López feels undervalued despite Barcelona fans’ affection

Barcelona midfielder Fermín López admitted that he sometimes feels he does not receive the recognition he deserves, despite saying he is loved by the club, his teammates and the fans, in an interview with Catalunya Ràdio.

López said the feeling bothers him a little, but that he enjoys the nickname “Fermínator” given to him by fans, adding that he likes people to call him that.

López scored both of Barcelona’s goals in their 2-1 win over Atlético Madrid, the team’s final La Liga match before the international break. He has now scored eight goals in all competitions this season, as well as providing seven assists for Hansi Flick’s side.

The player is currently with the Spain national team and hopes to feature in their next two Nations League matches against Czechia and England.
