Barcelona’s January signing seen crying after Napoli draw

Barcelona’s UEFA Europa League journey was not off to the best of starts as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Serie A giants Napoli at Camp Nou.

Coming into the knockout playoffs after finishing third in the Champions League group, the Catalans are one of the biggest teams in the competition and are expected to make a big splash.

However, things did not get off to the best of starts as they failed to take the initiative in the first leg of the playoff. The Blaugrana rallied back to equalise after going down to Piotr Zielinski’s strike, with Ferran Torres tucking away a penalty in the second period.

But the hosts were guilty of wasting several goalscoring opportunities, with Torres himself emerging as the major culprit. Making his European debut for the club, the Spaniard had missed a great chance in the first period right before Napoli scored.

The former Manchester City forward was again guilty of spurning at least two gilt-edged chances late on in the contest as Barcelona pushed for a winner.

On a day when he could have easily scored a hat-trick, the young Spaniard failed to take his chances and help Barcelona go over the line.

And naturally, he was devastated with how the game panned out, despite having helped the team salvage a draw. At the final whistle, Ferran broke into tears and was seen crying on the pitch.

It is clear that the Spanish international is a talented footballer and knows how to get into dangerous positions on a consistent basis. And with more confidence and work on his finishing skills, he can turn into an elite player for Barça.
