The Spanish newspaper "Mundo Deportivo" confirmed that Hans Flick was fully aware of the importance of having a player like Ferran López in Barcelona's squad, after he played a decisive role in the Spanish Super Cup final against Real Madrid.

According to the newspaper, the match was progressing at a slow pace despite Barcelona's possession, with Real Madrid playing defensively and the temperature and humidity rising. Then, Flick took advantage of the water break to give clear instructions that changed the course of the game.

The newspaper pointed out that Barcelona came back even more fiercely afterward, with Fermín López standing out as usual. He intercepted an important ball during a Real Madrid counterattack, quickly changed the direction of play, and then made a decisive pass into space to Raphinha, who took advantage of his freedom from marking and scored the opening goal 1-0 with an impressive individual effort.

The newspaper explained that Fermín's role often does not appear in television highlight reels, despite his clear contribution to pressing, ball recovery, and building attacks. This was also evident in previous matches, where he assisted two goals against Espanyol, provided a key pass for Ferran Torres's goal against Athletic Bilbao, before scoring himself in the semifinal.

The report confirmed that Fermin Lopez has become a key element in the playmaker position within Flick's system, having increased his tally to eight goals. This once again demonstrates the German coach's recognition of the player's value and his central role within the team.
