Fermin Lopez says he feels “undervalued” at Barcelona despite becoming one of the club’s leading attacking players this season.

The 23-year-old has scored eight goals and provided seven assists in 15 appearances for Barcelona so far this campaign, strengthening his position as an important threat for both club and country.

Lopez scored twice in Sunday’s 2-1 LaLiga victory over Atletico Madrid, a result which kept Barcelona at the top of the table with 33 points from their 12 games.

However, the midfielder believes he does not receive the same level of recognition as some of his team-mates.

“It’s a little annoying to always feel undervalued, but on the other hand, I do feel very loved by the club, my teammates, and the fans,” Lopez told Catalunya Radio.

Lopez reportedly came close to leaving Barcelona for Chelsea in the summer of 2025, although he was not keen on the move.

His performances since then have made him an increasingly influential figure for Barcelona, while his form has also enhanced his status with Spain.

The brace against Atletico Madrid was particularly significant as Barcelona held on for a narrow victory to maintain their position at the top of LaLiga.
