"I try to soak up everything from Lewandowski"

The Barcelona forward made it clear that he does not view himself as a "super-sub" but rather as a player simply trying to do his job—something he acknowledges can be difficult.

"Coming off the bench isn't easy. Often, the game isn't going your way or how you'd like, and you have to make the most of your minutes," he explained. So far this season, Torres has registered 11 goals and three assists, proving to be a valuable option for manager Hansi Flick, to whom he credits part of his success.

"Hansi is a very approachable guy, and from day one, he's been fully engaged, especially with players like me, who haven't always had the minutes we wanted. That kind of support helps you perform at a high level," Torres acknowledged. Despite often starting on the bench, the Spanish international insists he is ready for any scenario.

"I don’t feel like a substitute at all—I feel prepared for whatever comes my way," he added. Torres is well aware that he has an established world-class No.9 ahead of him in Lewandowski, whom he describes as a "legend" and a "role model".

"He's one of the best strikers of the last 15 years, and I try to be a sponge, absorbing as much as I can from him," he said. At 24, he is thrilled to be part of a squad filled with young talent. "This team is defined by its unity. There are no cliques, no bad vibes—we're all in this together, and that shows on the pitch," he remarked.

Reflecting on recent events, the Barcelona forward also spoke about the devastating floods in Valencia, which deeply affected his hometown of Foios. "When the DANA hit, I was injured, but that didn't matter—I needed to go and see how my hometown was doing. It was a tough reality check, but it also helped me put things into perspective and not dwell too much on setbacks," he concluded.
