Torres Receives Villa's Seal of Approval as Barca Surge in the Spanish Super Cup
David Villa, the former Barcelona striker, expressed happiness at Ferran Torres's continued development. In an interview with Spanish broadcaster TVE, Villa said he is delighted for Torres, a young player he greatly respects, who has worked hard and is now reaping the rewards.
He added that Torres is a crucial asset for both Barcelona and the Spanish national team, and he hopes Torres maintains the level, noting that much of the credit belongs to the player's own effort.
Torres opened the scoring in Barcelona's 5-0 semi-final victory over Athletic Bilbao in the Spanish Super Cup. The Spaniard has been in standout form this season, with 14 goals and another assist in 24 appearances across all competitions.
