Fermín was interviewed by Movistar+ after scoring twice in Barcelona's 5-0 away victory over Elche.

I’m doing well, thanks. How can I help?

We feel great after the match. We played well together, delivered a wonderful performance, and need to maintain this momentum.

Do we still need a number 9?

Deco and the sports department have made the best decision, and we trust them. There are other options within the squad, and it is not our concern.

Were you holding back at the end of last season?

I really wanted to make a strong start to this season. The summer was difficult for me. I need to keep regaining my rhythm, and even though I’m exhausted, I’m very happy.

Is your injury completely healed?

My foot is fine. The priority now is to find my rhythm and regain my form.

How is Gavi?

I haven’t seen him yet. I hope his injury isn’t serious—I’ll ask him later.
