Stats: Why Barcelona’s 24-year-old forward is the ultimate game-changer from the bench

Ferran Torres has consistently proven his ability to change games by coming off the bench and this trait is not only visible with Barcelona but also with the Spanish national team.

During the current international break against Switzerland, Torres came on at half-time and contributed both a goal and an assist.

His knack for turning things around as a substitute is often seen either through his individual performances or by enhancing the overall play of the team.

A breakdown of Torres’ performance
Since joining Barcelona, Torres has made 116 appearances, scoring 25 goals and providing 13 assists. Out of these, his impact as a substitute stands out, with 10 contributions coming off the bench, reports Mundo Deportivo.

In the 2021-2022 season, he made one of these substitute contributions, followed by four in the 2022-2023 campaign. His effectiveness continued with another four in 2023-2024 and one so far in the early part of the 2024-2025 season.
