Pablo Torre and his fight for minutes at Barça: 106 out of 1260 in 2025

If there is one thing a footballer wants to do, it is to play football. It is something as obvious as it is difficult in certain situations. Pablo Torre is in one of those moments. The Soto de la Marina native began his return to Barça with a great preseason and it seemed that it had served to convince Flick, as he ended up staying. However, with the arrival of Dani Olmo, the competition increased considerably, in addition to Fermín and Gavi already being in his position. The Racing de Santander youth player had some participation in the first part of the season, but his reality has been far from the pitch for some time now. He has already accumulated 7 consecutive games without dressing up.

In the last match, the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final against Atlético de Madrid, the Spanish under-21 international was not called up at all, as was Ansu Fati. FC Barcelona did not publish the squad, but neither of the two players went to the hotel or were on the bench. In 2025, of the 1,260 minutes that the Catalan team has had to play in 14 matches, Torre has only been on the pitch in 106, which is 8.41% of the total. In addition, his streak is not longer thanks to Gavi urging Flick to play the attacking midfielder in the final stages of the league rout against Valencia.

Pablo Torre's minutes in detail

This season, Pablo Torre has played 374 minutes, spread over 12 duels (31' p.p.), in which he has scored 4 goals and provided 3 assists. The truth is that, in the short time he has been on the pitch, he has taken advantage of it: he averages one goal contribution (7) every 53 minutes. However, it is clear that he has not finished making a name for himself. He is facing the longest streak of games without playing this season, with 7, but in the last months of 2024 he also linked several matches on the bench.

Between October 23 and November 10, FC Barcelona had 5 commitments: Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Espanyol, Red Star and Real Sociedad. The young footballer did not step onto the pitch in any of them. The same happened to him between December 3 and 21, as he also did not have opportunities against Mallorca, Real Betis, Borussia Dortmund, Leganés and Atlético de Madrid. That is, to recap, in the last 6 months, he has missed 22 of the 30 games played.

So far, Barça has played 39 games this season, which means 3,510 minutes. Torre, as previously mentioned, enjoyed 374, which means that he has participated in 10.65% of the competitive time. In January, after the sale of Nico Gonzalez to Manchester City, Porto were interested in him, but both the player and the club rejected the request. Perhaps, in the summer market, the Cantabrian is more open to leaving if the current situation does not change.
