In the Copa del Rey match against Barbastro, one of Barcelona’s young players delivered a standout performance that sent a strong message to the coach about his readiness for a bigger role in the team.
Despite the club’s challenging circumstances, this player has shown enough promise to make him a valuable alternative should changes to the squad arise. With the winter transfer market approaching, his opportunities could increase in the coming period.
According to Spanish newspaper “El Nacional”, Pablo Torre appears determined to make the most of his opportunity. In the Copa del Rey match, the young player showcased his skills and demonstrated that he could be a suitable replacement for Dani Olmo, should the latter face difficulties in continuing at the club due to financial constraints. At just 21 years old, Torre not only proved his worth but also sent a clear message to coach Hansi Flick: he is ready to take on an important role at Barcelona.
The match provided the perfect platform for Torre to shine and prove his capabilities. He scored the fourth goal and provided two assists for Robert Lewandowski, who continues to maintain impressive goal-scoring numbers. Torre, starting the year in excellent form, is eager to convince Flick that he deserves a more prominent role in the team, despite increasing interest from various clubs in signing him during the winter transfer market.
In the match, Torre played on the right wing, a position typically occupied by Lamine Yamal. Despite their contrasting styles, Torre being right-footed and possessing a slower pace compared to Yamal, his performance in this role pleased Flick, who had experimented with him in training. Torre impressed with his excellent vision, set-piece accuracy, and ability to read the game, making the most of the opponent’s mistakes.
With a packed schedule in January and the absence of key players like Dani Olmo and Pau Victor, Torre’s role could become crucial in the coming period. Although he has had limited playing time so far and has often featured in the reserve team during training, his display against Barbastro could serve as a turning point in his season.
Pablo Torre has stepped up at the right moment, and now it is up to Hansi Flick to make his decision. One thing is certain, however: Torre has the talent and ambition to fight for his place at Barcelona, which is currently searching for solutions and alternatives amid its challenges.
