Se pudesse escolher quem fica fora do El Clásico, Fermín López tiraria dois nomes do Real Madrid: Thibaut Courtois e Kylian Mbappé.
Em entrevista ao canal Teledeporte, o meia do Barcelona foi questionado sobre quais adversários preferia não enfrentar no duelo deste domingo (25) e justificou a escolha pela segurança do goleiro belga e pelo poder de decisão do francês.
"Courtois dá muitos pontos, faz muitas defesas, e Mbappé é diferenciado, por isso, se pudesse, tirava os dois. Mas o Real Madrid tem jogadores muito bons e temos de controlá-los a todos como equipe", disse.
O clássico é no Camp Nou, às 17h de Brasília, pela décima rodada de LaLiga: o Barça lidera com 27 pontos, com nove vitórias em nove jogos; os madrilenhos somam 21, sete triunfos e duas derrotas, e são terceiros.
Questionado sobre as queixas de arbitragem e as menções ao caso Negreira, Fermín mostrou cansaço e evitou o assunto: "Já cansa um pouco, porque em campo estamos demonstrando o nível que temos. Não é justo entrar nesse discurso quando as coisas nos estão correndo bem, mas não gosto de entrar nessa polêmica, nem ninguém do plantel."
Ele também recusou o rótulo de favorito: "É um jogo em que qualquer um pode ganhar, não há favoritos. Somos duas grandes equipes e temos de estar focados em fazer o nosso jogo, controlar as emoções e os pequenos detalhes."
