Barcelona, after 4 games in a row without winning – 3 of them counted as defeats – traveled to Mallorca to face Real Club Deportivo this Wednesday night. Hansi Flick, aware of physical setbacks such as that of Lamine Yamal, rested Robert Lewandowski from his starting eleven despite the fact that the Pole is in the middle of the 'Pichichi' hunting campaign. Fortunately for him, Ferran Torres responded and opened the can.
The former Manchester City scored 0-1 in the 13th minute taking advantage of a mess in the defense to insult. The defenders did not coordinate with each other nor with their goalkeeper, Leo Román, to the point of promoting a clearance that ended in a rebound exploited by the 'Shark'. He opted for a hit with the inside of his right boot and the ball slowly entered the goal of the islanders, who had had a challenging initial quarter of an hour against the leader.
The Barcelona '7' I hadn't seen the door since August 31 of this same year, when he celebrated one of the goals in the 7-0 against Valladolid that crowned the 4th round for the 'culés'. Later on from this moment, he did have the opportunity to expand his records thanks to a visit to Switzerland with the Spanish National Team at the beginning of September. In fact, in that international window, he also provided an assist.
Although physical problems have curtailed Ferran Torres' continuity this season, he is still opposed to approaching his figures from the previous one, in which he scored 11 goals and 3 assists in 42 performances20 of them starting. His band has been a substitute more than an indisputable piece since his second year, the one after his signing for 55 million euros in the 21-22 winter market.
