Fermín López hits brace in 100th La Liga game vs Atlético
Fermín López scored twice against Atlético Madrid in his 100th La Liga match, joining Kubala, Eladio and Rivaldo in a rare Barcelona club record.
Barcelona midfielder Fermín López marked his 100th La Liga appearance in style, scoring twice against Atlético Madrid in a demanding clash at the Metropolitano and emerging as the standout figure of the night.
Joining an exclusive Barcelona club
The brace makes Fermín only the fourth Barcelona player ever to score at least two goals in his 100th La Liga match. The list he has joined is a prestigious one: Ladislao Kubala achieved the feat against Celta Vigo in 1956, Eladio did it against Granada in 1966, and Rivaldo followed against Espanyol in 1999. Now, in 2026, Fermín López has written his name alongside them.
Among La Liga's most productive players
His numbers this season show the performance was no one-off. The Spain international has been directly involved in 12 league goals so far, with 7 goals and 5 assists, which places him fourth among La Liga's most decisive attackers.
The top of that ranking has a strong Barcelona flavour. Lamine Yamal and Raphinha share first place with 18 goal contributions each, while Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappé sits third on 15. That makes Mbappé the only player outside Hansi Flick's squad with a better return than Fermín this campaign.
For a club chasing the title, having a midfielder who can deliver both goals and assists at this rate is a major asset as the season heads into its busiest stretch.
