Barcelona midfielder Fermin Lopez has opened up about his development this season, highlighting the influence of head coach Hansi Flick on his game. In an interview with Barca Universal, the 21-year-old discussed his goalscoring instincts and praised the German manager for bringing a new level of maturity to his play.
Lopez, who has become a regular feature in Flick's squad, stated that the coach has "given me a lot of maturity" since taking charge at Camp Nou. The Spanish international emphasized how Flick's tactical approach and man-management have helped him understand his role better, particularly in arriving late in the box and finishing chances.
The young midfielder's comments come as Barcelona continue their strong start to the 2026-27 campaign under Flick, with Lopez contributing both goals and assists from midfield. His progression is seen as a key indicator of the club's successful integration of academy graduates into the first team under the new management.
