Barcelona winger plays with ‘mystery jersey’ against Napoli

Thursday night was a memorable occasion for Ferran Torres as he made his first appearance in a European competition for Barcelona. The 21-year-old arrived at Camp Nou from Manchester City during the January transfer window and has made a promising start to life as a Barça player.

The game against Napoli, however, did not go as planned for Torres or Barcelona. While the Spanish international did score to equalise for the Catalan giants, he was guilty of spurning several goalscoring chances on the night, which ended up costing his team the result.

The youngster was left distraught when the full-time whistle blew as the two teams played out a 1-1 draw. Apart from the profligacy in front of the goal, Barcelona did put up a good performance against the Partenopei.

During the game, fans also noticed an interesting thing involving Torres. The 21-year-old was sporting a jersey that did not have the Barcelona logo, or the symbol of the kit-makers, Nike.

Interestingly, the logos were present on the 21-year-old’s kit during the first period but were not visible when he stepped out on the pitch after the half-time break. There has been no clarification issued from the club’s side on the matter.

That matter aside, Torres will be low on confidence after how things went down on Thursday and will need the support of the team, staff and the fans to rally and bounce back strongly.
