The Spanish striker Ferran Torres continues to shine under the management of the German coach Hans Flick, who has repositioned him as a central striker, which has positively reflected on his scoring rate. According to the newspaper "Mundo Deportivo," Torres has scored 50 goals in a Barcelona shirt so far, evenly distributed between the tenures of Xavi Hernandez and Hans Flick.

During Xavi's period, Ferran scored 25 goals in 113 matches with a total of 5,938 minutes between 2021 and 2024, where he was often used in the left-wing position, scoring 12 goals in 59 matches, which accounted for 52% of his total goals at that time. He also scored 5 goals in 20 matches as a central striker (17.5%) and 8 goals in 34 matches as a right winger (30.5%).

Under Hans Flick, the player's role has changed completely, as the German coach has relied on him primarily in the center-forward position. Ferran Torres has played 57 matches under his leadership with a total of 2,730 minutes since 2024, during which he has also scored 25 goals, including 14 goals as a central striker in 30 matches (52.5%), 10 goals as a left winger in 19 matches (33.5%), and one goal as a right winger in 8 matches (14%).

The newspaper clarified that this tactical shift was the main reason for the increase in Ferran Torres's goal-scoring rate, as Flick has provided him with more space inside the penalty area, making him more effective in front of the goal.

After his latest goal against Elche, Ferran Torres has moved up to 51st place on the list of Barcelona's all-time top scorers, surpassing French star Thierry Henry, who scored a goal every 174 minutes, just one minute more than Torres's current rate.

The newspaper also noted that Ferran now has two more goals than the phenomenon Ronaldo, who scored 47 goals in 49 matches at a rate of one goal every 90 minutes, while the Spanish player is aiming to surpass the record of English legend Gary Lineker, who holds the next position with 51 goals.
