Barcelona have been facing a few challenges with their forward line lately, but they seemed to have found their rhythm in a 2-0 La Liga victory against Cadiz on Sunday.
Robert Lewandowski broke his goal drought with a stunning strike from outside the box, while Raphinha's production has increased in the absence of Ousmane Dembele.
However, it was Ferran Torres who stole the show with an excellent performance.
"I work to show my football," said Torres to Movistar+ (via Sport). "It is true that I was short of minutes and importance in the team. But every time the coach gives me confidence, I'll try to show what I have."
Manager Xavi Hernandez was thrilled with Ferran's performance, and said, "They have been very good. I am happy with the rotations and because the people have taken advantage of the opportunities. He [Feran] has taken a step forward to gain confidence."
During the match, Torres completed ten dribbles, the highest number in Spain this season, and he was awarded the Man of the Match award for his outstanding performance.
"It is clear that I came from a period in which I did not have many minutes, and it is difficult to show everything you want. Today both the team and I have been very good," added Torres.
Overall, Barcelona's forward line looks to be getting back on track, and with players like Ferran Torres in top form, the club can look forward to a busy spell with confidence.
