Ferran Torres demonstrated his prowess by scoring a magnificent hat-trick against Valencia in the Copa del Rey quarterfinals, earning the match ball as a reward.
Barcelona controlled the game, winning 5-0. The game got started to an exciting start, with Torres stepping up as the important player in Robert Lewandowski’s absence.
Barcelona’s continuous onslaught resulted in three goals in the first 22 minutes, practically putting the game out of reach for Valencia early.
Torres, who has already scored ten goals this season, performed with accuracy and poise. Despite his amazing performance, he decided not to celebrate any of his accomplishments.
“We thought it would be a difficult game, but we scored the first goals very early (three in 22 minutes) and from then on, Valencia went downhill,” said the ‘Shark’ after the match, as quoted by Mundo Deportivo. His decision was a mark of respect for his former club, Valencia, where he began his football journey, and he expressed his deep connection to the club and wished them “all the luck” for the future.

The situation at Valencia has been worrying, with the club experiencing persistent issues both on and off the field. Many fans began to leave the stadium before the first half ended, unable to see their team struggle against Barcelona’s dominance.
Torres sympathized with their unhappiness and asked Valencia fans to continue supporting the team.
He emphasized the significance of togetherness and solidarity, particularly during difficult circumstances, and voiced optimism that the team could turn things around and secure their spot in Spanish football’s top flight.
“It’s difficult to see your childhood club in such bad shape. I appeal for the players’ support and for the supporters to ignore what is going on off the pitch.
