Ferran Torres continues to add to 'La Roja' and is getting closer to the top 10 of top scorers

Ferran Torres is 'flying' with the Spanish national team. The 24-year-old striker is close to entering the top 10 of the all-time top scorers for 'La Roja'. The FC Barcelona player once again put in another great performance in the 4-1 victory over Switzerland on the second day of the UEFA Nations League, where he scored one goal and provided one assist.

The player from Foios continues to show that he has the level to achieve great things and in Spain's victory he gave a recital of talent playing in the open field and with space. Without a doubt, one of the most underrated players in the squad, but one that Luis de la Fuente always keeps in mind: "For me, Ferran does not generate the slightest doubt," he stressed.

Ferran Torres' numbers

At 24 years old, Ferran has already scored 21 goals in 48 games with 'La Roja'. He surpassed Telmo Zarra with 20 and is now number 12 on the list of top scorers in Spain, tied with Míchel (21) and behind Salinas (22), Sergio Ramos (23) and Di Stéfano (23), who are the ones preventing him from reaching the top 10. Let us remember that the ranking is led by David Villa with 59 goals.

Taking into account his age, it is unlikely that he will not reach record numbers. The least he could achieve would be to reach the top 6 of the ranking, a position occupied by Fernando Hierro with 29 goals. The top 5, in addition to Villa, is made up of Raúl González (44), Fernando Torres (38), Álvaro Morata (36) and David Silva (35). Of all those ahead of him, only Morata is active as he is an AC Milan player.

Precisely Morata also lives the same situation as Ferran. Both are not as praised by fans and the press in general. But this matters little, as both are key players for their coach, who does not hesitate to count on them for international matches. In addition, Ferran is one of the captains of the national team and one of those who has played the most, so, if he continues with a good rhythm and does not have problems with his fitness, everything indicates that he will be able to go even further with his club and with 'La Roja'.
