The wealth of young talents that FC Barcelona possess within its renowned academy’s arsenal is one that many elites of European football tend to envy, and it is not without adequate reason or cause.
In the latest outing against English Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur for the Joan Gamper Trophy, FC Barcelona emerged victorious with a scoreline of 4-2 that was mainly possible thanks to the contributions of many of Barca’s most promising young gems.
In particular, one of the major Barcelona standouts of the game was 20-year-old midfielder Fermin Lopez, who would provide the final assist of the game to Moroccan winger Ez Abde to score the fourth goal for the Catalan giants to wrap up the game.
As highlighted by Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo, the youngster’s performances continue to impress both the sporting staff and the fans alike, showcasing exactly why he deserves a chance to shine for the Barcelona first team.
With both his surreal performances against Real Madrid in Dallas, where Lopez scored an impressive goal and provided another great assist, as well as his recent outing against Tottenham, the Barcelona academy player’s image has been elevated in the eyes of many important people at the club.
Given these displays, it would not come as a surprise if Xavi Hernandez decides to include the young midfielder within his plans for the first team in the upcoming official season in which Barcelona hopes to compete as strongly as possible for every competition that they are a part of.
The first test will come as an away visit to fellow Spanish side Getafe at the Alfonso Perez Coliseum to kick off the official La Liga campaign for FC Barcelona, and there is a strong possibility that Fermin Lopez ends up being an inclusion for that upcoming league clash.
