From the source

Barcelona need Fermín López more than they probably realize. When things don’t go their way in the biggest games, it’s often because there is a drop in intensity that their opponents take advantage of.

Fermín has become the warrior of the Camp Nou.

For a stadium that has struggled to be the fortress that Barcelona needs it to be (I can tell you all about the 250 euro ticket prices to see Barca play Getafe that I did not pay), it helps to have a player who gets the fans, socios and tourists alike, out of their seats.
