According to a post by football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano on X on Thursday, November 12, 2026, Fermín López has expressed his excitement about scoring his first international goal for Spain ahead of Sunday's encounter against England.

The Barcelona midfielder is hoping to make a personal breakthrough when Spain face the Three Lions, having yet to find the net for the senior national team.

Speaking ahead of the fixture, López admitted that scoring his maiden goal for Spain would be a special moment and revealed his hope that it would happen against England.

"I'm excited to score my first goal for Spain," López said.

"Hopefully, it happens on Sunday against England," he added.

The 23-year-old's comments underline his desire to make a direct contribution to Spain's attack as the team prepares for the meeting with England.

Although he has already established himself as an attacking option for his country, finding the net at senior international level remains a target for the midfielder.
