"Just sell him", "Don't want to see him in my team again" - Barcelona fans unhappy with star's showing despite 1-0 Getafe win
A section of Barcelona fans on X want Ferran Torres sold after he struggled to make an impact in their 1-0 win against Getafe. La Blaugrana sealed all three points in their LaLiga clash at the Lluis Companys Olympic Stadium on Wednesday, September 25.
Robert Lewandowski netted his seventh league goal of the season with a close-range finish in the 19th minute to break the deadlock. Barcelona had numerous opportunities to add to their advantage, however, the likes of Raphinha, Lamine Yamal, and Lewandowski failed to convert their big chances.
Ferran Torres was given an opportunity to impress, coming on as a substitute in the 63rd minute to replace Pablo Torre. However, the 24-year-old lost two duels, registered zero goal contributions, and completed just four passes from seven in total with an accuracy of 57 percent.
Torres has struggled to break into Hansi Flick's starting XI this season, playing just 244 minutes in total across competitions. He has scored one goal and provided one assist in seven appearances but has yet to win over the Barcelona faithful.
One fan reacted by posting:
"Just sell Ferran Torres ffs! I’m tired. very clueless!!! I still prefer Ansu over him."
Another fan reacted:
"Guyy I don’t want to see Ferran Torres in my team again."

"Ferran Torres is arguably the worst player I’ve ever set my eyes on he genuinely makes Antony look like Pele," another added
"I dont think people understand how embarrassing and horrible it is to have Ferran Torres as first sub for our attack. That guy is a 2nd tier footballer and shouldnt be at this club. Worst thing is he will stay again this summer because he knows he will get his minutes anyway," another chimed in
"Ferran Torres is a Segunda level player. He's not capable of representing Barcelona anymore. He does not qualify to be a part of a Barça team aspiring to reach the top," one fan tweeted
