Fermín reached 100 appearances in La Liga with a brace of goals. An unforgettable night for the La Masia midfielder, who marked his 100th match in the domestic competition with two goals and was one of the main architects of Barça's 2-1 victory over Atlético Madrid.

Decisive in a demanding match, the Andalusian's two goals were crucial in helping Flick's Barça come from behind once again. The Barça midfielder struck just before half time to level the score with his left foot. A first-time shot with what is theoretically his weaker foot beat Oblak and gave the blaugranes renewed belief.

In the second half against Atlético Madrid, Fermín linked up brilliantly with Lamine Yamal. "Lamine Yamal and I understand each other very well; the goal was half his," explained Fermín after the win in the Metropolitano. 

A perfectly weighted pass from his teammate left him one-on-one, and he finished expertly past the advancing Atlético goalkeeper, this time with his right foot. A brace and a spirited comeback that helped propel Barça to the top of the table.

Those two goals allowed him to celebrate the milestone of 100 La Liga appearances for FC Barcelona. It all began on 27 August 2023, in a 4-3 away win over Villarreal. On that day, Xavi Hernández brought him on in the 86th minute of the contest. 

Now, he has been able to mark this special centenary in style, complete with a brace. There is still plenty more to come from Fermín, but 8 November 2026 is a date that will forever hold a special place in the personal history of the Andalusian midfielder.
