Fermín López
BARRuled out vs Alaves
Fermin (undisclosed) was not included in the squad for Wednesday's clash against Alaves, with no official reason provided, according to the club.
Analysis: Fermin's omission from the matchday squad is worth monitoring, though the timing of the absence in the final weeks of the campaign suggests this may be a precautionary decision by coach Hansi Flick rather than a significant fitness concern. With Barcelona having clinched the La Liga title during Sunday's Clasico victory over Real Madrid, resting key players for the final fixtures of the season would be a logical approach. No further details have been provided on the nature of the issue, leaving his availability for upcoming fixtures uncertain until the club provides clarification.
Delivers assist
Fermin assisted once to go with three shots (one on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 2-1 victory against Osasuna.
Analysis: Fermin was able to deliver an assist in Barcelona's win, and he's likely to continue having a role when the side battles Real Madrid for what will effectively be the league title next. The midfielder will be key for Barca to get past a Real Madrid team which has only allowed 31 goals in La Liga this season.
Opens scoring on Saturday
Fermin scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-0 victory against Getafe.
Analysis: Fermin opened the scoring on the brink of halftime with a wonderful assist from Pedri. Fermin completed 26 passes and made three tackles. It was his first league goal in nearly two months and his 14th goal contribution of the campaign.
