Barcelona Overcomes Almería Thanks to López's Brace

Barcelona's young midfielder, Fermín López, scored two goals to lead the Catalan club to a hard-fought 2-0 victory over hosts Almería, who sit at the bottom of the table, in the 36th round of the Spanish league on Thursday. López netted Barcelona's goals in the 14th and 67th minutes. With these goals, the 21-year-old reached his tenth goal of the season, setting a personal record on a night when the "Blaugrana" struggled to secure a win against an Almería team that has already confirmed its relegation. This victory allowed Barcelona to strengthen its second place, four points ahead of third-placed Girona, who lost to Villarreal 1-0 in this round.
