FC Barcelona maintains its brutal offensive records in the 2024/25 season, largely thanks to the talent of Lamine Yamal. The young player already has 11 assists this season and, in recent matches, has found a new ideal partner in attack: Ferran Torres. For the second consecutive match, the '19' assisted the 'Shark' to rescue a Barça that has been suffering more than usual in the final stages.
Against Borussia Dortmund, the one from Mataró took advantage of a mistake by the locals in their own half to deliver a perfect pass into space that left the player from Foiós one-on-one. The forward finished perfectly, with a powerful right-footed shot that earned three points and practically secured the passage to the round of 16 in the Champions League. After the goal, Torres thanked Yamal for the pass by polishing his boots. Only Raphinha (4) has benefited more so far from the assists of the 'jewel' of Barça.
Ferran is once again the ideal impact player for Barça thanks to Lamine
For the 'Shark', the double against Borussia not only allowed him to score for the first time in this edition of the Champions League. The '7' is also continuing to improve his offensive average this season, where he already has 5 goals in 14 matches (3 in La Liga) while only accumulating 585 minutes of action. Thus, Ferran scores every 117 minutes in the 2024/25 season, being the substitute with the best records in the squad.
It didn't take long for the player from Foiós to regain his rhythm after the injury suffered against Alavés, but the partnership with Lamine has restored his confidence at the most opportune moment. Indeed, if Robert Lewandowski does not show up, the Spanish international has the firepower to resolve high-stakes matches like Wednesday's or the visit to Betis, where Barça struggled a lot in the second half and almost ended up taking the three points.
On Sunday, against Leganés, Torres will look to extend his scoring streak. Before the match at Benito Villamarín, the Valencian had returned to LaLiga by scoring at Son Moix, something he hadn't achieved since matchday 4, against Valladolid. That day he also provided an assist, just like in the visit to Osasuna. In the Champions League, he had been a starter against Young Boys, without contributing much in attack.
