More of a 'Shark' than ever: Ferran is the most effective scorer in Spanish football.
The Blaugrana striker will easily surpass his record for goals in a season and his average of goals per minute is now higher than Lewandowski's.
Not being a regular starter isn't incompatible with not being important. Ferran Torres 's case is paradigmatic: his role at Barça is as a substitute or substitute for Lewandowski , but he's contributing more than ever. There's an objective truth to this: Ferran is currently the best scorer in Spanish football . The data says so. He doesn't go hunting much, but the "Shark" is biting more than ever.
Ferran Torres has the highest scoring average in both the Primera División and the Copa del Rey . Since he doesn't play every minute, he obviously can't match Robert Lewandowski's total goals in La Liga, but per 90 minutes, the former Valencia and Manchester City player is the league's top scorer. This is also true in the Copa del Rey, with the added benefit that, in terms of overall goals, Ferran is tied with Endrick and Julián , forwards for Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid, respectively.
Ferran averages 0.96 goals in all competitions this season, more than double that of 23-24, with 0.44 goals per 90 minutes.
Ferran's streak has improved in 2025. He has scored 14 goals this season in La Liga and the Cup, 11 so far this year . The Foios native doesn't need many minutes to make his presence felt. In just over 1,000 minutes in both competitions, Ferran Torres has the best scoring average, with 1.19 goals per 90 minutes , above Lewandowski , with 1.09 goals , and Alexander Sørloth , the Atlético forward, with 0.98 goals per 90 minutes. Ferran is arguably the current top scorer in Spanish football.
In the First Division alone, compared to players who have played 500 minutes in at least 10 matches, the Barça striker scores 1.02 goals per 90 minutes . He again surpasses Lewandowski, who is slightly behind with 1.02 , and also Cristhian Stuani, with 0.96 goals . In the Copa del Rey, he has scored 5 goals in 4 matches played. The same number of goals as Endrick and Julián. On average, it's unmatched: Ferran guarantees 1.74 goals per 90 minutes. This calculation comes about because in just 258 minutes, less than 3 full matches, the striker has scored on 4 occasions. He was key in the semi-final against Atlético, with 3 goals.
His year-on-year improvement is evident. Ferran is having his best La Liga season in terms of goalscoring, with 9. And that's even before the final stretch. His highest was 7 goals in a single season. In the Copa del Rey, the most he had ever scored was 1 goal in a single season. Now he has 5. Even when you include other competitions in which Ferran has had a lesser impact, the forward's progress is spectacular. Ferran is averaging 0.96 goals in all competitions played this season . This is more than double his figure in the 2023-24 season, with 0.44 goals per 90 minutes. He is also providing his best assists. Ferran Torres' spectacular performance is another victory for Hansi Flick's Barça.
