In this round of La Liga, Barcelona traveled to face Atlético Madrid—a match where a defeat would have cost them their position at the top of the table. Fortunately, Fermín, wearing the number 7 soccer shirt, scored twice to help Barcelona secure a 2–1 comeback victory and claim three vital points.

With Dani Olmo sidelined by injury, 23-year-old Fermín became the clear choice for the attacking midfield role, and he certainly lived up to the trust placed in him by manager Hansi Flick. With Barcelona in a desperate situation, Fermín stepped up to score both goals, earning a well-deserved Man of the Match award.

Following this win over Atlético, Barcelona remain firmly in first place. However, Lamine Yamal was kept off the score sheet once again. As the heir to the number 10 FC Barcelona jersey, there are high hopes that Yamal might one day step up to decide matches just as Lionel Messi once did. For now, it is clear that this 19-year-old super-talent still needs more time to grow.
