Although the match between FC Barcelona and Villarreal has got everyone talking over the serious injury suffered by the goalkeeper Marc Andre Ter Stegen, there were still a lot of positives for the Catalans to take home.
One such positive was the performance of the midfielder Pablo Torre, who finally got the opportunity to showcase his talent on the pitch after Dani Olmo’s injury. The 21-year-old playmaker marked this night with an assist and a goal, which was his first in La Liga, and took full advantage of this opportunity.
However, according to SPORT, the young midfielder does not consider this to be his best performance and while he is happy with his goal and assist, he still thinks he should play even better. Thus, he is already looking forward to getting more opportunities from the German coach in the coming games to continue proving his worth.
During the match against Villarreal, the midfielder played at a very good level. In addition to his goal contributions, he also had an 85% successful passing rate, as he completed 29 of his 34 passes.
His assist to Lewandowski was inarguably his most eye-catching action in that match. This was a pass that only the most accomplished players can pull off, and Torre showed his already thriving chemistry with the Polish striker with this pass. Lewandowski and Torre combined well in other sequences as well throughout the game.
But despite this impressive cameo, the €3m-rated Barcelona midfield gem will still find it difficult to get a regular role in the team. The competition in midfield is quite fierce, but the injuries to some key players can allow Flick to give Torre some more minutes in the games to come.
As for the player himself, he will need some continuity to build on this impressive performance, and hopefully, he will get more playing time in the coming games to continue showing his incredible talents.
