Ferran Torres has had a great performance in El Clasico against Real Madrid. The Spaniard was in the initial composition and noted three assists in the first half. Thanks to this, FC Barcelona already has seven points advantage over Real Madrid and is one step away from winning the Spanish championship. Ferran regularly looks good in Lewandowski's absence, which Spanish media notice and appreciate.
But words from Spain about Lewandowski's rival. Assists like golden balls
The Spanish daily “Mundo Deportivo” writes about the great performance of Torres in El Clasico. Three assists of the Spaniard in this meeting are referred to as “three golden balls”. “Ferran undoubtedly plays his best season in Barcelona. He didn't even have to be a player of the first squad, although Robert Lewandowski's injury led to this. Torres played in key matches, for example in the semi -final of the Champions League with Inter. He showed his advantages in El Clasico” – we read in the article.
“He scored a goal in two of the four matches (in the LM semi -final and both classics). His advantages in El Clasico strengthened the advantage of Barcelona in the Spanish league. The classic confirmed his great season: 19 goals and seven assists in 1921 minutes, participating at a goal every 73 minutes” – adds “Mundo Deportivo”. The Torres contract with Barcelona expires in June 2027, but it is possible that it will be extended by the next seasons.
Spanish media regularly melts over the game Torres in recent weeks. “He made Flick fall in love with his game thanks to his amazing work on the pitch and the ability to exert pressure on his rival. Considering the numbers, it is clear that Ferran deserved something more than the name of a reserve attacker,” we read in the press.
– In general, I think that with Torres this pressing at the front and receiving this ball higher, looks better with him than with Lewandowski. I mean hindering the ball from behind by rivals. With Lewandowski, this pressing looks different. Ferran Torres is fighting more, running more and works harder for the whole team – it can be seen. He fulfills these tasks better – explained Jakub Kosecki after the match of Inter Milan with Barcelona in the program “This is Sport.pl”.
