Ferran Torres celebrated his goal against Real Madrid, a strike that solidified his growing role as Barcelona’s focal point in attack. The Valencia-born forward has established himself as a regular starter under Hansi Flick this season, even overtaking Robert Lewandowski in the pecking order. He arrives at the World Cup in outstanding form.
Against Madrid, Ferran drew the foul that led to Rashford’s converted free kick, but his own highlight came when he scored Barça’s second goal. Dani Olmo set him up with a backheel, and the “Shark” finished low to the far post, leaving Courtois with no chance.
With that goal, Ferran now has 15 in LaLiga, plus three in the Champions League, one in the Copa del Rey, and one in the Supercopa de España. That brings his season total to 20, surpassing the 19 he scored last season – a personal best.
His form extends to the Spanish national team, where he has netted 23 goals in 54 appearances, tying him with Alfredo Di Stéfano and Sergio Ramos as the 10th all-time top scorer for La Roja. This campaign, he has scored twice against Turkey, once in Konya and once in Seville.
