On Thursday night, a startling statistic that highlights Barcelona striker Ferran Torres' outstanding goal-scoring return this season gained attention online. This results from events in Barcelona's encounter with Valencia. Naturally, Hansi Flick's team is presently engaged in combat in Mestalla in a Copa del Rey quarterfinal match. With a four-goal advantage over their hosts, the Blaugrana are now well on their way to a berth in the competition's last four.
After scoring three goals in the first half against his old team, Ferran Torres has established himself as the show's undeniable star. And such stellar exploits on the part of the 24-year-old, as alluded to above, have since given rise to a remarkable stat. As revealed by statisticians StatMuse, Ferran has now racked up more goals (10) than he has starts (9) across all competitions this season.
