Barcelona secured a dominant 7-1 win over Valencia in the Spanish League, earning a well-deserved victory. With 42 points, Barcelona currently holds third place, 7 points behind the league leaders, Real Madrid. Valencia, on the other hand, is in nineteenth place with 16 points. Barcelona’s next match is against Alaves on February 2 at the Luis Companys Stadium, while Valencia will host Celta Vigo on the same day.
According to El Nacional, Pablo Torre, the young Barcelona star, is growing increasingly frustrated with his lack of playing time under coach Hansi Flick. Despite his dedication and solid performances when given the chance, Torre feels underappreciated by the German coach. Sources close to the club say he voiced his displeasure in the locker room after the Valencia match, stating, “If I don’t play anymore, I will leave Barcelona! I want to feel important in the team.”
Torre is eager to have a more prominent role and does not want to remain as a substitute. If the situation doesn’t change, he might look for opportunities elsewhere. His chances of playing are further limited by the excellent performance of Fermin Lopez, Gavi’s recovery, and the presence of key midfielders like Pedri and Frenkie de Jong.
The club’s management, led by Deco, is aware of the situation and may consider offers for Torre in the upcoming summer transfer window. Several clubs, both within La Liga and beyond, are reportedly interested in the young player, recognizing his potential if given more playing time.
The situation now depends on Hansi Flick, who faces the challenge of managing a squad with rising tensions over playing time.
