Fermin Lopez got a goal and an assist in the Champions League tie against Shakhtar Donetsk.

With Barca having a depleted squad at the moment, due to injury, Barcelona youngster Lopez, is hoping to get a start in the weekend’s El Clasico clash.

“I’m now thinking about El Clasico,” Fermin told the media after scoring against Shakhtar Donetsk.

“I’ll try to help the team in the Clasico as much as I can. If it means scoring goals, that’s even better.

“It’s the coach who decides if I will start. I will be prepared for whatever comes. The moment I’m in now is unimaginable. I am fulfilling a dream, I am very grateful.”
