Fans Show Faith in Barcelona and Fermín López Despite El Clásico Defeat

Barcelona fans continue to show strong belief in their team and young midfielder Fermín López despite the 2-1 loss to Real Madrid in the first El Clásico of the season. After the match, Barcelona’s official Instagram shared several photos of Fermín with the caption,

“4 goals. 2 games. Fermín López. 🫡,” celebrating his recent form.

Many supporters filled the comments with praise and confidence in both the player and the club.

One fan wrote, “Despite the loss to Real Madrid, I strongly believe that Barça can win La Liga. And what’s more, they will win the UEFA Champions League.”

Another commented, “He could have touched that ball to Rashford, we wouldn’t have lost the game yesterday,” showing both admiration and frustration with Fermín’s decisions.

Some fans criticized his play, saying, “He’s good but he must pass for teammates. If you don’t make this you are still a bad player, ok?”

While another added, “He played a selfish game yesterday and covered it with a goal. I like him so much but he was bad yesterday.”

Still, there was plenty of optimism in the fanbase. One supporter said,

“Bro scored but he should assisted yesterday 🤦🏾‍♂️ but anyway ❤️💙♥️💙,”

While another reacted to Madrid’s injury news with,

“Carvajal injured for two or three months… absolutely KARMA! 💯.”

Fermín López’s Performance for Barcelona This Season

Fermín López has indeed been a bright spot for Barcelona in the 2025–26 season. The 22-year-old midfielder has started three games and come off the bench three times, scoring three LaLiga goals. He has taken 15 shots, 10 on target, showing strong attacking intent. In the 6–1 Champions League win over Olympiacos, he scored and played confidently, and he was active again in the loss to Madrid. His energy, positioning, and eye for goal have earned praise from fans and coaches, marking him as one of Barcelona’s key young talents.

Real Madrid’s victory ended a four-game losing streak against Barcelona. Madrid now leads the league by five points after goals from Kylian Mbappé and Jude Bellingham. Fermín López had scored Barcelona’s only goal in the 38th minute before Bellingham netted the winner. Despite the defeat, many Barcelona fans remain positive, believing that the team’s young core — including Fermín — can bounce back and compete for major trophies this season.
