About Ferran Torres
Ferran Torres García (Valencian pronunciation: [feˈran ˈtores]; born 29 February 2000) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a forward or winger for La Liga club Barcelona and the Spain national team. Nicknamed El Tiburón ("The Shark") by former Barcelona manager Xavi, Torres began his career at Valencia, where he made his senior debut in 2017. He moved to Manchester City in 2020 and won the Premier League and the EFL Cup in the 2020–21 season. He departed for Barcelona in January 2022. Despite initially struggling in his first seasons at the club, in 2024–25, he helped Barcelona win a domestic treble of the La Liga title, the Copa del Rey, and the Supercopa de España. The following season marked Torres's best-scoring season, with his 16 league goals being crucial to Barcelona winning another La Liga title. Torres has represented Spain internationally at various youth levels, and made his debut for the senior team in 2020. He was chosen in Spain's squads for two FIFA World Cups (2022 and 2026), two UEFA European Championships (2020 and 2024), winning the 2024 tournament and scoring the only goal in Spain's 1–0 win against Argentina in the 2026 World Cup final. Torres was promoted to the B-side ahead of the 2017–18 campaign, and scored his first senior goal on 26 August 2017 by netting his team's second in a 4–1 home win over Peralada-Girona B. Torres made his first team debut on 30 November 2017, replacing fellow youth graduate Nacho Gil in a 4–1 home routing of Real Zaragoza, for the season's Copa del Rey.
