In a historic match at the “Metropolitan” in Madrid, Barcelona made a stunning turnaround against Atletico Madrid in the 28th round of La Liga. After being two goals down until the 70th minute, the Barcelona squad showed incredible determination, flipping the game in their favor in the final moments to win 4-2, marking one of the most thrilling games of the season.
According to El Nacional, although several players stood out in the match, Spanish forward Ferran Torres was the standout star. With the game heading towards a draw or a potential loss, Torres came on as a substitute in the 63rd minute and made a huge impact. He scored two brilliant goals in the dying minutes, securing Barcelona three vital points and reinforcing his place as a key player for the future.
However, what truly surprised everyone was the request made by young talent Lamine Yamal, who has been one of Barcelona’s most exciting players this season. In an interview after the match, Yamal expressed his admiration for Ferran Torres’ performance and asked German coach Hansi Flick to include Torres in the starting lineup for future matches.
Yamal said of Torres, “I enjoy playing alongside him because it helps me shine,” referring to their great on-field connection and how Torres’ presence strengthened the team’s attack.
After Torres’ crucial brace against Atletico, the big question remains: Will he get more opportunities in upcoming matches? Yamal believes it’s time to give Torres more chances to showcase his skills, especially after his significant contribution to Barcelona’s historic victory.
