'Absolute baller': Barca fans heap praise on standout player from Man City win

Barcelona kicked off the Hansi Flick era with a thrilling 2-2 (4-1) win against Man City in their first pre-season game of 2024.

The Blaugrana actually won the penalty shootout after the match and ended the match on a positive note. Despite missing players like Lamine Yamal and Pedri, Barca still produced a bright performance.

Pablo Torre has earned a lot of praise for his proactive performance against Man City. He also scored his side’s second goal of the game, brilliantly finishing from inside the box.

The young midfielder completed 100% of his passes and was a menacing figure in the Cityzens’ area too. He’s now earning heavy praise from fans, who reacted.

Kay: “Pablo Torre is so good Hansi Flick coming might be a blessing for him cos he would be thinking about going to Uni if Xavi was still Barca coach.”

Maruf K: “Pablo torre is who Madrid fans think Arda Guler is. Exceptional.”

Princess Luna: “Absolute baller. No way we’re going after Dani Olmo for 60M, money we don’t even have to come and stunt the growth of this beast.”

Mateo de Futbol: “He has Riqui Puig germ and style and that make them so special than Gavi.”

Neal: “Add Pablo Torre to the list of never-ending reasons not to sign Olmo. I’m being very serious, an attacking midfielder is the LAST thing we need. It’s baffling this is even being considered, let alone looking likely.”

Ogi: “Pablo Torre is absolutely saucing. Why’d Xavi send this dude to the shadow realm ffs.”
