Ferran Torres wants to be important in this Copa del Rey , in which Barcelona is looking to reach another final after four years without playing in it. The Valencian footballer already knows what it is like to win this competition with Valencia and is currently the club's top scorer in this knockout tournament. He takes advantage of every opportunity Hansi Flick gives him , whether as a starter or substitute, and has become a very important player within the squad.
Despite the muscle injuries that have prevented him from playing regularly this season and showing his best level on more occasions than he has done, Ferran Torres ' numbers are quite positive. The Valencian striker has already scored 11 goals in just under 1000 minutes spread over 27 games.
The last goal was scored last Saturday against Las Palmas to seal the match (0-2). A goal with which he controversially silenced the Gran Canaria stadium to vindicate himself in one way or another. A goal that could catapult him into the starting line-up this Tuesday against Atlético de Madrid in the semi-final of the Copa del Rey with Lamine Yamal seriously in doubt .
And Ferran Torres is being a key piece for Barcelona in this Copa del Rey that returns to the scene this Tuesday for the Blaugrana team. If in the League and in the Champions League the top scorer of the culé team is Robert Lewandowski , a global forward who has set out to break records this season, in the knockout tournament things change.
Ferran's numbers in the Cup
Barcelona 's top scorer in the Copa del Rey is Ferran Torres. The Valencian striker has four goals, the same as Julián Álvarez , who will be their opponents on Tuesday in Montjuic in search of a place in the final, at the top of the scoring charts in the knockout tournament. He scored one of them against Betis in the round of 16 and the other three against Valencia in the quarter-finals. A hat-trick that was essential for Hansi Flick 's team to face Atlético de Madrid in the first semi-final of the Copa del Rey.
A Ferran Torres who already knows what it is like to win a Copa del Rey. He did it with Valencia in the 18/19 season. Precisely, he won it against Barcelona in Seville. He did not play in that final against a culé team where currently no member of that starting eleven remains. Now, with the blaugrana shirt, he wants to win his second Cup.
That Copa del Rey was more than special for a young Ferran Torres . He lifted it with the team of his life. Six years later, much more mature, he wants to lift another one with the team that has given him the opportunity to try to succeed in the elite. He is not a starter for Flick , but he is an important player. His four goals in the Copa del Rey have been key and against Atlético de Madrid , from this Tuesday, he wants to put another stone in his way to reach the cup final. Once again in Seville.
