Fan suggests Fermin has already ‘outshone’ one midfielder in Barca squad

“Dude [Fermin] showed out [against Shakhtar]! Could have had a hat-trick with a bit of luck. Has he already eclipsed Roberto as a player?” Barca fan sherpa143 writes.

Well, it seems like Fermin would surely start ahead of Sergi Roberto even if the latter was fit. The 20-year-old has hit his best form and shows no signs of stopping.

Sergi Roberto, who is the first-choice captain this season, had a decent cameo against Granada a few weeks ago but picked up an injury afterwards.

Roberto has scored one goal in 6 appearances for Blaugrana this season. Fermin has already played more minutes than Sergi this term.
