Ferran Torres denies Barcelona ‘clique’ rumors
Barcelona’s Squad Unity Crucial Ahead of Important Fixtures
In the 2024/25 season, Barcelona faces a crucial month with a UEFA Champions League double header against Benfica in the last 16, as well as three La Liga games before the end of March.
The team kicks off this busy period at home against Real Sociedad before traveling to Lisbon on March 5. Despite a few injuries, manager Hansi Flick remains optimistic about the squad’s capabilities.
Managing Injuries and Squad Rotation
Currently, Barcelona is dealing with long-term absences of Marc Bernal and Marc-Andre ter Stegen due to ACL injuries. In light of this, Flick is expected to rotate and balance his squad in the upcoming weeks, giving fringe players a chance to shine.
Ferran Torres Eager to Make an Impact
One player looking to step up is Ferran Torres, who has scored seven goals since the start of 2025. Torres praises Flick for his motivational coaching style, which pushes players to perform at their best.
In response to rumors of cliques within the squad affecting playing time, Torres emphasized the team’s unity and shared goal of success on the pitch. Despite facing tough competition from Robert Lewandowski, Torres sees it as an opportunity to learn and grow as a player.
Team Unity and Focus on Success
Despite certain players starting more games than others, Torres denies the existence of any rifts within the team. He highlights the positive atmosphere within the squad and the collective drive to achieve success together.
As Barcelona navigates through a crucial period in their season, unity and teamwork will be key factors in their quest for both domestic and European glory.
