Fermin Drops Clue About His El Clasico Aspirations Following Shakhtar Performance

Fermin Sets Sights on El Clasico, Hoping for Starting Role After Shakhtar Performance

Fermin, who recently made headlines with his performance against Shakhtar Donetsk, has his sights set on El Clasico. After scoring in the Champions League match, the young striker spoke to the media about his aspirations for the upcoming clash against Real Madrid.

“I’m now thinking about El Clasico,” Fermin told reporters. “I’ll try to help the team in the Clasico as much as I can. If it means scoring goals, that’s even better.

“It’s the coach who decides if I will start. I will be prepared for whatever comes. The moment I’m in now is unimaginable. I am fulfilling a dream, and I am very grateful.”

While Fermin’s enthusiasm and determination are evident, the final decision about his involvement in the El Clasico lineup will be made by Barcelona’s head coach, Xavi Hernandez. Gavi, who was absent from the Shakhtar game, is expected to return, and Joao Felix is likely to occupy the left-wing position. Additionally, Frenkie de Jong might make the squad, further complicating the selection process for Xavi.

The highly anticipated showdown between Barcelona and Real Madrid is scheduled for Saturday, October 28. All eyes will be on the team sheet to see if Fermin’s strong performance against Shakhtar has earned him a place in the starting lineup for this pivotal match.
