€40m Barcelona star proves his worth in number nine role once again against Mallorca | OneFootball

The recent game between FC Barcelona and RCD Mallorca was an intriguing one. For starters, two red cards in the first half alongside a controversial goal set the tone early on. However, despite the controversy, the goal was a legal one.

The man who scored that, however, was Ferran Torres, and the Spanish forward needs no introduction by now. For him, scoring that goal simply came naturally despite the controversy that Mallorca tried to create from it.

As highlighted by SPORT, Torres proved with his recent performance and his mentality that Hansi Flick is right to trust him as a number nine in this team. Reportedly, the German coach believes it to be his best position, and Torres continues to justify that belief.

During this recent game, a shot from Lamine Yamal hit the head of Mallorca defender Antonio Raillo. It led to the player going down to the ground, but while some players started asking for the game to be stopped, Torres was fully focused on the ball itself.

After collecting the ball that fell back to him, the €40 million-rated Spaniard unleashed a sensational strike that even the agile Leo Roman could not react to in time.

A clean strike with extreme precision and good power behind it, the ball went straight into the back of the net and gave Torres his goal, which was also the second of the game for FC Barcelona.
