Barcelona forward Ferran Torres paid a heartfelt tribute to the club’s late team doctor, Dr. Carles Minarro, after their dramatic 3-2 extra-time victory over Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey final.
Torres, who scored the crucial equalizer during the match, dedicated the win to Dr. Minarro, honoring his lasting impact and contributions to the team’s success.
Dr. Carles Minarro, who passed away unexpectedly in March 2025, was deeply respected within FC Barcelona for his professionalism, dedication, and care for the players. In the wake of his passing, the Barcelona squad and staff have consistently honored his memory — wearing black armbands and observing moments of silence before key matches, including a poignant tribute ahead of their Champions League clash against Benfica.
During the emotional Copa del Rey final celebrations, Ferran Torres paid a touching tribute by holding up a shirt bearing Dr. Minarro’s name during the trophy lift. The symbolic gesture underscored just how much the late doctor meant to the club and highlighted the strong bond within the Barcelona dressing room.
The team’s performance, driven by a desire to honor their late colleague, showcased the profound unity and spirit at the heart of Barcelona’s success. As the Blaugrana celebrated their thrilling 3-2 extra-time victory over Real Madrid, they did so with a heartfelt dedication to a man whose presence continues to inspire them.
Meanwhile, emotions boiled over at the final whistle, with Gavi seen celebrating directly in Marco Asensio’s face, and at least three Real Madrid players being sent off in the aftermath of a chaotic ending to an unforgettable night.
