Pablo Torre: goal, assists and MVP to claim a place in Barça's midfield

FC Barcelona impressed and thrashed Barbastro to secure a place in the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey 2024/25, and Pablo Torre was one of the key figures in the team managed by Hansi Flick. In a midfield that featured 'heavyweights' like Pedri and Frenkie de Jong, it was the Cantabrian who took charge of the team in the final third of the pitch.

The '14' is determined to secure a spot in the German coach's squad, and in Huesca, he once again demonstrated that he is ready for a more important role in the rotation. Starting from the right side of the attack but with a tendency to centralize his position, the player was one of the main threats for the Catalans, showcasing his 'glove' on his right foot to constantly create dangerous opportunities.

Goal and assist from Torre to crown his performance

The impact of Torre on Barça's victory was reflected in the statistics. In the 31st and 47th minutes, the former Racing de Santander player assisted Robert Lewandowski twice for the second and third goals of the Blaugranas, with the first assist being a precise cross from the right wing and the second a brutal pass between the lines to leave the Pole one-on-one with the opposing goalkeeper.

Additionally, he capped off his spectacular presentation with the fourth goal to seal the match. The midfielder took advantage of a 'gift' from the Barbastro goalkeeper to celebrate his fourth goal this season, making it clear to Flick that he can be a very interesting asset for his scheme for the remainder of the season.
