Fermín López hasn't held back when talking about where he sees himself on May 31st. On that date, the Champions League final will be played, and he is certain that he will be there defending Barça's jersey. He said this in Sport, showing that since Hansi Flick's arrival, there has been a significant mindset change within the culer squad.
In this regard, Fermín López also recalled where he was the last time Barça won the Champions League: "I was at my house, in El Campillo. I was 12 years old, it was the year before I joined Barça, and I was watching the match with my parents and my brother. It was a very happy moment, after all, I've been a culer since I was little, and it was an unbelievable night."
This is the mindset that Hansi Flick has brought to Barça's locker room, completely changing what many players think. Fermín López wants to once again proclaim his FC Barcelona as the Champions League champion, and many believe it's the perfect time to do so. It's been a long time since a Barça team has looked as strong in the continental competition as this year's.
Fermín López confirms a mindset change that Joan Laporta applauds
For some time now, it seemed that Barça was content with just competing in the Champions League due to the notable setbacks it had accumulated in past years. This has definitely changed, as confirmed by Fermín López. The great league phase that has been achieved has made it clear that this team can beat anyone at any time and it's the way all matches are being approached.
Joan Laporta couldn't be happier after discovering these statements. He hoped that, at some point, Barça would definitively click. This is the mentality needed to aim for great things, and it's what Fermín López has released.
Under Hansi Flick, Barça shows that it can compete and win against anyone again. With this noticeable mindset change everything can be won. Fermín López knows that Barça will play the next Champions League final on May 31st and Joan Laporta applauds from his office, he couldn't be happier.
