On August 24,, Barcelona secured a resounding 5-0 away victory over Elche in the second round of La Liga. Barcelona star Fermín López delivered a stellar performance, scoring twice and making a major contribution to the team’s dominant win. He had previously missed the World Cup due to a foot injury. After the match, he expressed his joy at returning to the pitch and discussed the club’s plans to sign a striker.

"I was very eager to have a good start; this summer was too difficult for me. To be honest, I had a good start, but I still need to slowly regain my rhythm, and now I'm completely exhausted," Fermín said. When asked about the possibility of the team signing a number 9 striker, he stated that he fully trusts Deco and the sports management, emphasizing that the team has other options in attack.

"We trust Deco and the sports management; their decisions will definitely be made with the team's best interests in mind. There are actually many alternatives within the team, and I think we proved that today. These decisions don't depend on us, but they will certainly make the best choices for the club." Fermín also stated explicitly: "My foot injury has completely healed." He also offered encouragement to Gavi, who is awaiting the results of his injury assessment.

Discussing this emphatic away victory, the midfield star identified the key factor: "We finished the game with a great feeling, and our attacking play in the second half was excellent."
