Fermín López: 45 goals reveal his superiority and ability to score with both feet

Fermín López, a player for FC Barcelona, continues to confirm his distinction thanks to his ability to score with both feet, having reached 45 official goals at the elite level, figures that reflect the diversity of his scoring abilities and the difficulty in predicting the way he finishes attacks.

Mundo Deportivo has highlighted this feature, explaining that the player has scored 23 goals with his right foot, 17 with his left, and 5 headers, while also netting 8 goals from outside the box, half of which came with his less frequently used foot.

This ability was prominently displayed on October 21, 2025, when Fermín López scored the first hat-trick of his professional career, with all three goals coming from his left foot, during FC Barcelona's 6-1 win over Olympiacos in the UEFA Champions League.

This feature is attributed to the work the player did during his loan period at Linares, as he previously explained that he focused on developing his use of his left foot during that experience, and continued to work on it after returning to FC Barcelona, aiming to help the team.

Fermín López has had an impressive season, scoring 8 goals and providing 7 assists in 15 matches, and has become an important element in Hans Flick's plans, especially after Dani Olmo's injury against Paris Saint-Germain, which has given him a greater opportunity to participate regularly.

His 45 goals were distributed across different seasons, with 11 goals in his first season with FC Barcelona, 8 in the second season, then 13 goals last season, along with 7 goals in the current season, in addition to 6 goals scored during the Olympic Games 2024, evenly distributed between both feet.
