Barça coach Xavi Hernández chose to bring on Fermn López and Raphinha in the 66th minute of the Clásico vs Real Madrid in Dallas. The young Andalusian took the pitch at the AT&T Stadium with the blaugranes leading 1-0 but their opponents pressing for an equaliser and the result still in doubt. Nonetheless, the 20-year-old took advantage of the opportunity to make his debut on the grandest stage of all: a match between two of the most powerful clubs in the world.So the boy who arrived to La Masia seven years ago and was dubbed "little Fermn" has grown up. Last season, he spent a year on loan at Linares in Spain's third division, where he scored 12 goals, created four assists, and gained vital experience. Fermn has become a household name.
