Barcelona secured their spot in the Copa del Rey quarter-finals with an impressive 5-1 victory over Real Betis, showcasing exceptional performance from their players in all areas. According to the Catalan newspaper Sport, in the Barcelona dressing room, the influential voices of Gavi and Pedri, key figures in the team, have been advocating for Pablo Torre to receive more playing time.
This call for more opportunities for Torre came after his standout performance in his last start against Barbastro in the Copa del Rey, where he demonstrated his game vision and decisiveness. His performance underscored the qualities of great midfielders who have previously graced the club. Torre maximized his minutes on the field to show both the fans and coaching staff that he is ready for more responsibility.
Gavi and Pedriâs praise for Torre extends beyond just words. Both have highlighted his technical skills and exceptional game-reading ability in interviews, emphasizing that his youth should be seen as an asset for Barcelonaâs future rather than a limitation.
Managing a squad as talented as Barcelona’s presents challenges for coach Hansi Flick, but he has shown a willingness to listen to input from his players. The situation with Pablo Torre could test Flickâs managerial approach, especially as player absences and rotations become more frequent in the coming months.
Barcelona remains committed to Torre as an important part of their medium-term future. While his talent and efforts in training are being recognized, his future depends on Flickâs decisions. The backing of influential players like Gavi and Pedri not only strengthens Torreâs case but also motivates him to continue competing for a more prominent role in the team.
