The goal of Barça’s unexpected scorer: Pablo Torre’s right-footed strike!
Pablo Torre finds what he struggled with at FC Barcelona in the U21 national team: continuity and complete confidence in his abilities. Although these contexts are indeed different, his “strength” with La Rojita continues to grow, especially since he has gone five consecutive matches without playing a minute at Barça.
This Tuesday, Pablo Torre will start in the friendly match between Spain U21 and Denmark at the Carlos Belmonte stadium in Albacete, the hometown of coach Santi Denia. This makes the match particularly special, as Denia is eager to present the best possible image on home soil.
The important news is not only his starting position, but also the fact that Pablo Torre will wear the captain’s armband for this match. This marks another milestone in his importance to a team preparing for next year’s U21 European Championship in Slovakia.

This will be the first time that Pablo Torre proudly wears the captain’s armband at the start of a match, a moment that excites the Cantabrian player, who also wears the number ’10’ on his back. A complete “package” for a player who benefits from the full confidence of Santi Dénia.
Against the Danes, it will be Pablo Torre’s 15th match with the U21 team. He made his debut under the current senior team coach, Luis de la Fuente, in a friendly match against Japan (2-0) in La Cartuja, exactly two years and one day ago.
In the meantime, the 21-year-old from Soto de la Marina scored two goals and provided four assists. For Santi Denia, Torre was already “one of his own” in the lower categories they shared (U19), and now he is given the responsibility of being the leader of the team as they finish the year 2024 with Rojita.
