Jofre Torrents makes his debut for Barça: the future of the left wing?

FC Barcelona added their first three points in LaLiga against Mallorca without breaking a sweat (0-3). The first half ended with a 0-2 lead on the scoreboard and numerical superiority on the field after the expulsions of Manu Morlanes and Vedat Muriqi.

Thanks to this, Hansi Flick was able to give minutes, without much pressure, to Jofre Torrens in the second half, a left-back who makes his official debut with the first team, although he had already participated in the preseason.

Torrens, 18 years old, entered in the second half in the 68th minute, replacing Alejandro Balde. Since the German coach took over the reins of the club, he has shown that he is committed to young players and does not hesitate to line them up; this time he chose the '26' to make his professional debut in matchday 1 of LaLiga EA Sports 25/26.

Gerard Martín's absence opened the door for Jofre Torrents

The Azulgrana club has few left-footed players in the back, which is why they had to appeal to their youth academy. Before the start of the season, they suffered the loss of Iñigo Martínez, who went to Al Nassr of Saudi Arabia, and could not register Gerard Martín for the first matchday, who is the natural substitute for Alejandro Balde.

Jofre, who wore the '26' in his debut, has a good height (1.85 meters) and projects very well on the left wing. His performance highlights 86% accuracy in his passes (12 out of 14 possible) and he only had one loss of possession. Defensively, he won 1 out of 3 duels, both on the ground and in the air (33%).

Jofre Torrents is very popular with Flick and the Blaugrana sports management

Born in La Selva del Camp, he is a player with a great future and has been liked by Hansi Flick and the Azulgrana sports management. Jofre Torrents played 145 minutes in the preseason, playing in all the matches.

Last season, he played 11 matches with Barça Atlètic in the Primera RFEF. The '26' culé must continue to take advantage of the opportunities to settle in the first team. On May 13 of this year, Barça made his renewal official for three seasons, as a sign that they want to count on him in the long term.

Understanding that Gerard Martín can alternate his appearances as a central defender and left-back, Torrens will have a leading role this season. After the match, Flick was happy to make him debut in Mallorca.

"I'm happy to have him. They are all good, they are fine. I value their quality. It hasn't been easy to play for him. There weren't many spaces," the coach argued about the performance of the '26'.
