Fermin Lopez Experiences an Unprecedented Season with Barcelona
Fermin Lopez once again confirmed that he is one of Barcelona's best players in shooting from outside the box, and perhaps the best, after scoring his second goal in the match against Slavia Prague with a brilliant shot from a medium distance, putting his team ahead 2-1 after he himself had equalized earlier.
Despite suffering two injuries this season that kept him out of some matches, the player from La Masia continues to have an impressive season, having scored 10 goals across all competitions. This makes him the third top scorer for Barcelona, following Raphinha and Lewandowski (each with 11 goals), and Ferran Torres, who leads with 15 goals.
Not only that, but Firmin also has 10 assists this season, bringing his total goal contributions to 20 across all competitions. This surpasses his 19 contributions last season and 12 in his first season with the team, confirming that he is experiencing his best period yet.
In comparison with midfielders in the top three European leagues (Spanish, English, and Italian), Firmin tops the list of midfielders contributing the most to goals with 10 goals and 10 assists in just 24 matches. He is followed by Bruno Fernandes from Manchester United with 15 contributions in 21 matches, and then Arda Güler (Real Madrid), Nico Paz (Como), and Phil Foden (Manchester City) each with 14 contributions.
Firmin also joins a rare list of four players from the top five leagues who have scored 10 goals and provided 10 or more assists, alongside Luis Diaz (14 goals and 10 assists), Michael Olise (13 goals and 17 assists), and Lamine Yamal (10 goals and 11 assists).
