Barcelona forward Ferran Torres has expressed deep admiration for his teammate Robert Lewandowski, considering him a role model in the sport. Torres, who often serves as the alternative striker to the Polish international, has been learning extensively from his experienced colleague.
The duo has appeared together in 86 matches for Barcelona, creating six goal-scoring combinations. Under Hansi Flick’s guidance, Torres has significantly enhanced his attacking prowess and has successfully filled in for Lewandowski in several crucial matches.
Speaking to Barca One, Torres shared his thoughts about Lewandowski: “Robert is truly a legend. Having one of the finest strikers of the past 15 years playing alongside me is incredible. I always try to be like a sponge around him, absorbing everything I can learn. He’s definitely my reference point.”
Torres also highlighted the positive team dynamics among Barcelona’s attacking lineup: “There’s great harmony within our team. My relationship with Lamine, Lewy, and Raphinha is excellent. We’re all united, working together towards the same objectives.”
The Spanish forward has impressed this season with 11 goals and three assists across 28 appearances. His standout performances include a memorable hat-trick against Valencia in the Copa del Rey quarter-final and two crucial goals against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League.
Lewandowski’s High Praise for Young Prodigy Lamine Yamal
In a recent conversation with Pilka Nozna, Lewandowski shared his thoughts about his young teammate Lamine Yamal. The Polish striker was particularly impressed by the 17-year-old’s exceptional talent and maturity on the field.
“When I first saw him training with us at 15, I was amazed. I’ve encountered many talented youngsters before, but Lamine was different. When he told me his age, I couldn’t believe it. His playing style suggests he’s much older than his actual age. It’s rare for someone to impress me this much,” Lewandowski remarked.
The partnership between Lewandowski and Yamal has flourished, resulting in nine goal contributions across their 77 matches together. Currently, Lewandowski leads the LaLiga scoring charts with 20 goals, closely followed by Real Madrid’s Kylian Mbappe with 17.
The successful integration of experienced players like Lewandowski and emerging talents such as Torres and Yamal continues to strengthen Barcelona’s attacking capabilities, promising an exciting future for the Catalan club.
