FC Barcelona is on hold three games into the 2025–26 season while international football takes precedence. With Spain once again having a significant Blaugrana presence, a big section of their first team roster is now abroad with their separate national teams.
Ferran Torres was one of Spain’s most impressive players in their resounding 6-0 victory over Turkey at Konya, scoring his 22nd goal for his country. The Barça forward’s goal put him level with Julio Salinas and ahead of Michel, moving him up to joint-ninth on La Roja’s all-time scoring records.
As Mundo Deportivo has reported, Torres spoke to the media following the game and said he was proud and determined to attain this milestone. “Playing for the national team, scoring goals, and supporting the squad is always wonderful. From the very first minute to the very last, we played a fantastic game. This is the course we need to take.
Ferran Torres ranks among Spain’s all-time top scorers
Ferran Torres scored as Spain crushed Turkey 6-0. The goal was the Barcelona forward’s 22nd goal for his country. His goal takes him within one goal of making it into La Roja’s all-time top 10.
Torres went on to emphasize his own goal of moving up Spain’s scoring charts. “I have often stated that being one of La Roja’s top scorers is one of my career objectives. You must never give up on your dreams and continue to score goals.
In addition to highlighting the team’s mindset, the 25-year-old striker emphasized that Spain cannot afford to be complacent despite their dominance: “You can never relax, especially when playing away from home.” We moved forward, knowing how to handle the outcome. Carrying the favorite tag is never fun because everyone is watching, but I have no doubt that we will do a fantastic job.
It would undoubtedly help Ferran Torres to score for his country during this international break, and he hopes to go on with this strong play when he returns to Barcelona for the next games.
