Robert Lewandowski reveals his message to Ferran Torres before free-kick goal vs Valencia | OneFootball

Barcelona star Robert Lewandowski has provided an insight into the simple message he sent the way of teammate Ferran Torres, before rounding out his hat-trick against Valencia.

Frontman Lewandowski of course proved himself the star of the show for Barcelona, on Monday night.

As much came as the Pole rattled off a trio of 2nd-half goals, to guide Xavi’s troops to a comeback victory over Valencia at Montjuïc.

His hat-trick clinching strike proved the pick of the bunch, Lewandowski bending a sumptuous free-kick into the top corner of the visitors’ net deep into injury-time.

And, in the process, the 35-year-old repaid the trust of one of his attacking partners-in-crime.

The two candidates to take responsibility of the set-piece in question against Valencia came in the form of Lewandowski, and Ferran Torres.

As the pair stood over the ball, though, the former sent something of a request to Ferran.

“Before the free-kick, I spoke with Ferran and asked him to trust me,” Lewandowski revealed to the media post-match.

And the rest, as they say, is history…
