Fermín returned to university classes of degree after his first goal in La Liga

Fermín, from saviour in Son Moix to University

The Andalusian quickly came down to earth after his first goal in La Liga and yesterday afternoon he attended class in the Degree of Physical Activity and Sport Sciences.

He wanted to go to Tarazona to play with Barça Atlètic on Sunday but Xavi refused after De Jong's injury; the coach needs him up top

A close friend of Gavi and Cristo (Juvenil A), the 20-year-old lives alone near the Ciutat Esportiva and has resumed his studies at Blanquerna, which he began in 2021.

From the high to the normality of a boy of his age with his head on straight and his feet in place. Fermín López was still pinching himself yesterday after the goal that prevented defeat against Mallorca coming off the bench, although less so than on Tuesday night. He will never forget the day of his goalscoring debut in the same stadium where Andrés Iniesta made his Primera División debut. In white, as on the day of his baptism in the elite against Villarreal, Fermín scored from Raphinha's pass after a great play by Lamine Yamal to seal the 2-2 draw, not enough for Barça and a guy with a great competitive character.

The day after didn't change the young talent from Huelva (20 years old), who has been on the first team train since the tour of the United States, including a goal in Dallas against Thibaut Courtois in the Clásico. He trained in the morning in Sant Joan Despí and it didn't take him long to get home, a stone's throw from Barça's Ciutat Esportiva, where he has been living on his own since this season. In the afternoon, he took his folder and backpack and went to the Universitat Ramon Llull to attend classes for the Degree in Physical Activity and Sport Sciences that he started two years ago. He had to leave last season when he went on loan to Linares (12 goals) with a fantastic performance in Primera RFEF. Despite being in full swing with the team coached by Xavi Hernandez, he has not left his studies aside with an adapted plan. The day before yesterday, the day of Mallorca-Barça, he had class and could not attend, but yesterday he went to Blanquerna to continue with his objective of recovering the five subjects he has pending from his first year, when he was already in the Juvenil A of Barça. His younger brother, José Antonio, who doesn't even let him win at the Play, has been thrown out of court and has just started Law in Seville.

A close friend of fellow Andalusians Gavi and Cristo Muñoz, who gave the Juvenil A side a 1-0 win on Sunday against Girona in the 96th minute, he also gets on wonderfully with Balde, who played with him in the Infantil A team when he arrived at La Masia at the age of 13 from El Campillo. His family have already come to see him play with the first team in Barcelona, but this Friday it will be a group of friends who have already sold out Fermín's ticket package for the match against Sevilla at Montjuïc.

It will be difficult for him to return to Barça Atlètic due to the absence of Pedri and De Jong. He did not play against Celta on Saturday and asked Xavi to come down to the reserve team to play in Tarazona on Sunday. He was hurt by the red card on 10 September in the defeat against Nàstic for which he even cried but the coach refused. He wants him and needs him up top. Fermín is more than grateful and is not willing to lower the piston on the 'senior' train.
