Surprised by Ferran Torres' impressive scoring performance

DIỆU ANH |

From a forgotten player, Ferran Torres is emerging as a key striker for Barcelona with an impressive scoring performance.

When thinking about the player who scored the most goals in the top 5 European tournaments this season, it can point to famous names such as Erling Haaland, Kylian Mbappe or Mohamed Salah.

However, while these superstars are top of the Premier League and La Liga's overall scoring charts, none of them have led their league in their own matches when it comes to their best goals-per-minute ratio.

The best striker on that list was a Barcelona player. Notably, this player is not one of the biggest stars of the club and is not even often in the starting lineup.

Of all the strikers who have played at least 10 games and 500 minutes for a team in Europe's top five leagues, Ferran Torres has the best minutes scored.

The Spaniard is in very good form, scoring 5 goals in the last 4 matches. Most recently, Ferran Torres scored the only goal in the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final against Atletico Madrid. This goal of the 25-year-old striker helped Blaugrana advance to the Copa del Rey final against Real Madrid.

Ferran Torres is currently the striker with the best scoring per minute in the Spanish top flight. The 25-year-old has scored at least one goal for Barca in every tournament he has played for in the 2024-2025 campaign.

The former Manchester City striker has scored 16 goals in 33 appearances (a total of 1,266 minutes) for Barcelona this season. This means Ferran Torres has scored one goal every 79.1 minutes, a number that is almost superior to other strikers in Europe's top five tournaments this season.

Ferran Torres is facing strong competition from Real Madrid teenage striker Endrick (1 goal after 80.4 minutes) and Barca teammate Robert Lewandowski (1 goal after 83.9 minutes). Meanwhile, Villarreal striker Ayoze Perez (1 goal after 95.7 minutes) is the only other player in La Liga to score better than one goal per 100 minutes this season.

Overall, Torres is another threat to Lewandowski. The 25-year-old striker is more active in moving, ready to spread the wings, and switch positions with Raphinha to make it difficult for the opponent's defense. The most important thing is that he still maintains his scoring fate.

"In any team, we want a striker like Ferran Torres. He is always ready to shine. He knows how to keep the fire fighting in all circumstances" - Hansi Flick praised Ferran Torres after the 3-0 win over Osasuna in La Liga.
