Ferran Torres close to his highest-scoring season with less playing time

With his late goal to seal the game against UD Las Palmas, Ferran Torres equaled his scoring output of the 2023-24 season under Xavi Hernandez. The versatile Barça attacking midfielder has already scored 11 goals and provided 3 assists this season, making this the best campaign of his career since he has been at Barca and is also set to be the best overall in terms of offensive production.

The effectiveness of the player from Foios is being incredible. With just 953 minutes of play, the Spanish international has scored 11 goals and three assists, which means that he scores every 86.6 minutes and generates a goal every 68.1 minutes. By his side, Lewandowski needs 87.2 minutes to score and generates a goal every 79.7, also taking assists into account. Raphinha, another man with spectacular records in the 2024-25, scores every 126.2 minutes and generates a goal every 79.7 minutes, a figure identical to that of the Pole and far from that of the Valencian, who clearly benefits from his accuracy in the closing stages of matches against defences that are generally much more open. Finally, Lamine Yamal, the third starter in Flick's attacking trio, scores a goal every 243.9 minutes and generates a goal every 107.3 minutes.

Ferran has transformed the noise from the stands into the confidence of the fans when he comes on as a substitute. In addition, the winger has accepted perfectly the role of substitute at Barcelona and even seems to fit perfectly in that one.

The former Manchester City has so far his best records as a professional in the English team, to which he arrived in 2020-21 to score 13 goals and give 3 assists. He is only 2 goals away from that figure, achieved in more than twice as many minutes of play as he has had so far in the 2024-25 at Barça (2,111). As long as he is successful between now and the end of the season, he will improve his current records, which are also higher than those achieved in the 2022-23 (7 goals and 3 assists) at Barcelona, those of his first six months at Barca (7 and 6) and those of his last six months at Manchester City (3 and 1).

Combining what he did in the 2021-22 between Manchester City and Barca, Ferran would have as the most productive course the 17 goals generated, as he would have achieved 10 goals and 7 assists between the two clubs. With 14 goals produced so far, the player from Foios is also on track to improve this data and would only need to score or assist 4 more times to achieve his best season in absolute terms.
