It’s not something La Masia products are known for, but Fermin Lopez has bucked the trend on Monday night against Valencia. However Los Che took a matter of minutes to respond, albeit with a large assist from Marc-Andre ter Stegen.
Peter Federico had gone one-one-one with ter Stegen shortly before the opener, but missed a clear chance putting it wide. Barcelona responded by sending Joao Cancelo out wide on the left, who whipped the ball in for Fermin Lopez. Barcelona’s most active player rose salmon-like to find the corner.

It didn’t last long though as ter Stegen tried to chip over Hugo Duro while receiving a long ball, and did not manage the result he desired.
