Ferran Torres delivers strong message after Barcelona thrilling 4-2 win over Atletico Madrid | OneFootball

FC Barcelona once again proved their credentials as serious contenders for the La Liga title as they beat one of their direct rivals, Atletico Madrid, in a roller coaster of a match last night.

The Catalans were down by 2 goals by the 70th minute of the game, with goals from Julian Alvarez and Alexander Sorloth. However, Robert Lewandowski reduced the deficit to one goal only 2 minutes after Sorloth’s goal. 6 minutes later, Ferran Torres also got on the scoresheet to equalise the scores.

However, the Blaugranes were not done yet. Lamine Yamal scored another goal to give his side the lead in injury time before Torres scored another goal in the very last seconds to end the game 2-4 in his side’s favor.

Thus, despite not being a starter, Torres was once again one of the most decisive players for his side in the game last night. As Mundo Deportivo has reported, he also talked to the media after the game and expressed his happiness with the win.

The Valencian winger was convinced his side deserved to win last night:

“I think it was a great victory, especially because of how we came back. The win was well deserved, and I’m very happy.”

Despite his happiness, Ferran also warned Barcelona that there are still many matches left in La Liga that they need to win:

“Yes, we are very happy, but we also know that there are many matches left in the season. Now it’s time to focus on the national team, but with Barcelona, we want to keep earning three points in every game.”

The Spaniard ended this media talk with a joke about his nickname, ‘the shark’:

“We showed character, grit, and courage, and from there, we managed to take control of the game. I’m trying to instill a shark mentality in the young players.”

With this performance, Ferran Torres once again showed his importance for the Catalan team, despite not being a regular starter. Hopefully, he will continue to play such an important role in the squad, which can prove to be crucial for Barcelona in their quest to win all the titles this season.
