The goals were shared among Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, and Fermín López, who scored two goals each. Fermín López made his first start of the season and had a standout performance, covering every blade of grass and setting up attack after attack with his forward passing and dribbling.

Fermín completed 41 of 46 passes, won three of his four dribbles, created two big chances for his teammates, and scored two goals from his five shots. His first goal was taken well from a tight angle, and his second goal was a beauty, struck with precision and power to ripple the back of the net.

Speaking after the match, Fermín revealed what his coach, Hansi Flick, had instructed him in his first start of the campaign: to play with intensity and humility. He also addressed the rumors that had circulated during the summer, linking him with a possible exit, and stated that he has always wanted to remain at FC Barcelona.

Fermín is one of the many La Masia graduates in the current squad, and he is forming a new golden generation alongside other young players. He is full of energy and ambition in attack, and is a natural goalscorer. Against Valencia CF, he now has six goals from four games, and he is well and truly up and running for the new season.

With the games about to come thick and fast, and the Champions League about to begin, it's great news for Barça that Fermín is in the groove. He is a talented young player who is making a name for himself in the team, and fans are delighted that he is sticking around.
