Great game. Energy and quality on ball was top notch.
FCBfan22 Senior Member Jan 26, 2025 #872 MOTM. Insane game by him. We will need him as Olmo is almost perma-injured.
J JamDav1982 Senior Member Jan 26, 2025 #873 Fermin and Gavi are very similar profiles in not the best techincally but work hard. Fermin probably edges it technically though and quicker. Olmo a different type more quality than both but doesnt press the same.

Joan Well-known member Jan 26, 2025 #874 Pleasantly surprised by his technical level tonight. Softer touch, well weighted passes. Valencia didn’t make it hard but seemed like an improvement.

J JamDav1982 Senior Member Jan 26, 2025 #875 Valencia tried to play a relatively high line and press. The CBs, FDJ, Fermin and Raphinha killed them for it and drew them in before playing through them time and again.

P Porque Senior Member Jan 26, 2025 #877 Needed a game like tonight. Onwards and upwards please. If anything Olympics showed he is rather streaky. Earned the start for Atalanta midweek I feel.

J JamDav1982 Senior Member Jan 26, 2025 #878 That is the best have ever seen him play in the middle third of the pitch. Lot of quality and his mobility added a lot.

Barcaman Administrator Staff member Jan 26, 2025 #879 Hansi Flick: "Fermín was fantastic. He was man of the match for me. He was involved in so many goals, and he's a special player. The dynamic he added today was amazing."

soul24rage Senior Member Jan 27, 2025 #880 Incredibly good, hopefully he keeps this level as he had many ups and downs for me.
TheStig Member Jan 27, 2025 #881 I don't remember Barca ever having such quality depth in midfield. Tough choices for Flick, at least Olmo makes them easier lol
