Ferran Torres: goalscoring debut with controversy included in Mallorca

FC Barcelona started the new season with their forwards on fire. In that sense, the person responsible for the second goal of the azulgrana team was Ferran Torres, who is going through his best moment as a Barça player since his arrival in December 2021.

Thus, a Catalan team with its attack zone made up for this match by the 'Shark', Lamine Yamal and Raphinha, is making its rival, RCD Mallorca, start the season in the most bitter way.

After the first goal for Barcelona in the campaign, scored by 'Rapha' in the 7th minute, Ferran took advantage of a controversial opportunity in the 23rd minute, when the Valencian striker gave a right-footed shot to the ball that hung it in the angle to increase the superiority of the blaugranas over the 'bermellones'.

Ferran Torres' goal, marked by controversy

In this context, Ferran's annotation was marked by tension, since, although Torres signed a great goal from outside the area, the action was surrounded by controversy, because in the action prior to the goal, Lamine Yamal sent a left-footed shot to Leo Román's goal that ended up being blocked by Antonio Raíllo with his head.

Therefore, several Mallorca players were distracted, worried about the state of the defender of the 'bermellón' team, who remained lying in his own area, but the referee José Luis Munuera, seeing that other teammates continued to dispute the ball, did not stop the match.

This decision of the referee allowed the goal to go up on the scoreboard. The decision ignited the spirits in the Balearic team, which protested vehemently for what they considered a failure of the refereeing.

Ferran Torres continues unstoppable as in the 2024/25 season

It is worth remembering that the 'Shark' is playing as a center forward, while Robert Lewandowski recovers from discomfort in the femoral biceps of his left leg.

Ferran Torres has become the ideal, but mainly unexpected, revulsive of the Pole. The '7' in the past campaign signed 19 goals and 7 assists in 45 commitments (1,921 minutes).

During the current summer transfer market, the player has been linked with several clubs, especially with Aston Villa, but the attacker has always expressed his desire to succeed at Barça, demonstrating it in preseason, where he also scored 2 goals.

This version of the Valencian has meant that, for now, the Catalan team has given up on its idea of launching into the transfer window in search of a guaranteed substitute for the native of Warsaw.
