Bar\u00e7a went into halftime with a two-goal lead against Getafe thanks to a brace from Ferran Torres. The ‘Shark’ completed a remarkable first half on his return to the starting XI<\/h2> \r\n
\r\n \r\n \r\n Calendar of FC Barcelona <\/a>\r\n<\/div>

Ferran Torres<\/strong> made the most of Marcus Rashford’s<\/strong> place on the bench in the FC Barcelona-Getafe (3-0)<\/a><\/strong> match. The ‘Shark’ wreaked havoc on the Madrid defense as a left winger, with a brace in the first half for Hansi Flick<\/strong>‘s team. Despite the rain at the Estadi Johan Cruyff, the ‘cul\u00e9s’ once again displayed spectacular football.<\/p>

The German punished the Englishman<\/a> for arriving late to the activation session before the match, and the ‘7’ repeated as a starter for the fifth consecutive matchday. This time, playing behind Robert Lewandowski<\/strong> alongside Raphinha<\/strong> and Dani Olmo<\/strong>. The player from Terrassa and the Brazilian assisted him on a couple of occasions to pave the way for a comfortable victory against a always complicated rival.<\/p>

Great first half from an inspired Ferran Torres against Getafe<\/h2>

The ‘Shark’ opened the scoring in the 15th minute<\/strong>, culminating a remarkable collective action by Bar\u00e7a. Raphinha caught Olmo’s diagonal run, sending a ball into space. The ’20’, with eyes in the back of his head, saw Ferran alone, passing the ball with an exquisite backheel that allowed the ‘7’ to blast it past David Soria, finishing with a first-time shot.<\/p>

19 minutes later, Torres once again put his stamp on a lethal counterattack by the ‘Azulgrana’ team<\/strong>. A long clearance from Eric Garc\u00eda allowed Raphinha to sprint from his own half and deliver a perfect cross for the player from Foios. In the one-on-one against Soria, the Valencian finished perfectly, enabled by the disorganized retreat of the ‘Azulona’ defense.<\/p>

Ferran could even have scored his ‘hat-trick’ before halftime, but he sent an exquisite chipped pass from Pedri onto the crossbar in the 42nd minute<\/strong>. Bar\u00e7a completed 8 shots, 3 of them on target, compared to none for Getafe before halftime. The ‘bath’ for the ‘Azulgrana’ team was proportional to the downpour over St. Joan Desp\u00ed on Sunday.<\/p>

Ferran Torres, Bar\u00e7a’s leading offensive contributor 2025\/2026<\/h2>

With his brace against Getafe, Ferran reached 4 goals in LaLiga<\/strong>, where he also added 1 assist in 5 matches. This gives the ‘Shark’ the team’s scoring lead this season, surpassing Raphinha <\/strong>(3). Furthermore, the number 7 is the player with the third most goal involvements in the tournament (5).<\/p>

Only Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 (5W\/1) and Etta-Eyong (3W\/3A)<\/strong> surpass the Valencian striker. In the race for the Pichichi, Bar\u00e7a’s top scorer is hot on Mbapp\u00e9’s heels, along with Vedat Muriqi, who also scored 4 goals in the matchday.<\/p>
