The resounding victory of FC Barcelona against Young Boys (5-0) left many high points, but also some low points. Among them is Ferran Torres, who passed without pain or glory in a match in which the Blaugrana team was vastly superior to its rival and whose performance is beginning to 'frustrate' the Barcelona fans, who are still waiting for the 'Shark' to explode.
Hansi Flick, who continues to bet on the footballer and hopes to get the best version of him, put on the Montjuïc pitch a highly offensive team, with Raphinha centralising his position so that the '7' could take charge of the left wing of the forward line. Although he is intense and does not hesitate to sacrifice himself for the team, his contribution in attack is practically null.
In a duel in which Robert Lewandowski scored twice and Raphinha and Iñigo Martínez also celebrated a goal, Ferran seems to have lost another opportunity to redeem himself. The player had up to four shots, but his lack of aim prevented him from joining the scoring party.
Will Barça look to cash in on Ferran?
Although Flick continues to use him as a substitute, Torres' numbers this season leave much to be desired. At the moment, the player has only scored one goal against Valladolid and provided two assists in the 9 games he has played in so far this season.
This situation, added to the return of Ansu Fati who has 'dazzled' Hansi in training, opens the door to the debate of the player's continuity in Barcelona. The Premier League would be following his steps, and Can Barça would not look down on cashing in on his departure, so in the winter market the 'soap opera' could begin around the player from Foios, who needs to react sooner rather than later.
