Stats reveal Fermin Lopez’s two‑footed threat under Flick
Stats show Barcelona midfielder Fermin Lopez is enjoying one of the most productive periods of his career under Hansi Flick, with eight goals and seven assists in 15 appearances across competitions in the 2026/27 season. The 23‑year‑old has become an increasingly important member of Flick’s squad, taking advantage of Dani Olmo’s injury to establish greater consistency in the starting line‑up.
His attacking output is particularly impressive because of his ability to finish with either foot and with his header. Since his debut under former manager Xavi, his development as a two‑footed goalscorer has become an important weapon for Barcelona, making him difficult for opposition defenders to predict and contain.
Opportunity from Olmo's injury
Dani Olmo’s injury has opened the door for Fermin’s increased involvement, coinciding with an outstanding run of individual performances. Fermin Lopez can score from anywhere and with both feet. His ability to contribute goals and assists from midfield has given Flick another attacking option, particularly when Barcelona need late runs into the penalty area.
Two‑footed finishing power
He scored 11 goals in 2023/24. He added eight goals and nine assists in 2024/25. He subsequently registered 13 goals and 17 assists during the 2025/26 campaign. His current eight goals and seven assists in 2026/27 put him in a strong position to challenge those previous seasonal totals.
Statistically, 23 of his 45 goals have come with his right foot. Seventeen have been scored with his left foot. Five have resulted from headers.
Fermin Lopez has become crucial to Barcelona’s attacking setup. His versatility gives Barcelona an advantage beyond his goalscoring numbers. He can operate in attacking midfield, in deep central areas and can also play out wide if required, although he has not played there this season thanks to the depth Flick has at his disposal.
What has stood out this season is his ability to arrive late inside the penalty area and threaten goal from different shooting angles. His ability to use both feet makes those movements even more difficult to defend. He demonstrated this influence against Atletico Madrid.
