Barça’s 3-0 Win Overshadowed by Fermín López Injury Blow

Barcelona’s comfortable 3-0 triumph over Getafe at the Olímpic Lluís Companys—secured by a Dani Olmo strike and a Ferran Torres brace—ended on a bitter note after homegrown midfielder Fermín López collapsed in tears with a late injury.

The 22-year-old, who came off the bench on the hour mark, pulled up in stoppage time after a sprint, clutching his left thigh before falling to the turf. Medical staff rushed to his aid, while coach Hansi Flick knelt beside him to offer comfort. “Fermín is a warrior,” Flick said afterward, “but seeing him in that much pain was tough. We’re hoping it’s only minor.”

On Monday morning, tests at the Ciutat Esportiva confirmed the setback: López has suffered an iliopsoas muscle injury in his left leg, sidelining him for around three weeks. Barça’s statement read: “The player Fermín López has sustained an injury to the iliopsoas of the left leg. Estimated recovery time: three weeks.” The timing is cruel, with the team already missing Gavi, Ronald Araújo, and Marc-André ter Stegen. López, with three goals and two assists this season, will now sit out at least four crucial fixtures, including the Catalan derby against Espanyol, a Champions League clash with PSG, and El Clásico at the Bernabéu.

Fans reacted instantly. A viral clip of López leaving the stadium on foot—refusing crutches despite his limp—has surpassed five million views on X. Messages of support poured in from teammates Pedri and Lamine Yamal, while club legend Xavi Hernández posted: “Fermín, the strength of the lions awaits you. Rest and return stronger.”

Analysts warn his absence will force Flick into tactical reshuffles, possibly pushing Dani Olmo deeper or handing more minutes to academy talent Marc Casadó. For now, López has vowed to fight back, posting a gym photo captioned: “It hurts, but I don’t give up. Always for Barça 💙❤️.”

Despite their flying start—25 points from a possible 27—the Blaugrana face a test of depth and resilience. For fans, though, one chant continues to echo in the stands: “Fermín, Fermín, Masia’s own.”
