Less than six months of presence and already European champion. Dro Fernández should not regret his choice to join Paris Saint-Germain this winter for €8 million. He has already touched the Grail, without being a major piece of course. He didn’t even play the final and only played a total of three minutes in the second leg play-off against Monaco during the Parisians’ European campaign. This is enough to make him a European champion.
During this C1, he played more with FC Barcelona (59 minutes against Olympiakos during the group stage) than with his new club, while, paradoxically, he left Catalonia in search of more playing time. Fernandez had few illusions when arriving in France. He comes first to learn in the middle of a locker room already made up of champions, and to benefit from the minutes that Luis Enrique gives him.
PSG expects more
He had the opportunity to shine in Ligue 1 with 12 appearances (682 minutes) for one goal scored, always in the register of an attacking midfielder, but not always with the same level of consistency. His still frail physique was sometimes felt in our championship. This is now the big question before him. Will it be able to reach the necessary level in the coming months?
Sport the question arises this Saturday because it is also a question internally at the club. “ At PSG, they are no longer waiting for the boy who arrived from La Masia. They are waiting for the player who can compete for a place among the best », reveals the Catalan daily. In other words, the Parisian staff hopes to find a more mature player at the start of the school year, ready to enter the rotation with more consistency than during his first months.
