<p>Barcelona forward Ferran Torres <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/barcelona-player-ratings-vs-atletico-madrid-lamine-yamal-ferran-torres-semi-final-secure-clasico-copa-del-rey-final/blt46e1af79e374d6a0" target="_blank">scored another goal on Wednesday night</a> to help his team book a Clasico clash in the Copa del Rey final after eliminating Atletico Madrid. Indeed, a striking stat has revealed that the Spaniard needs less minutes to find the back of the net than any other player across Europe's top leagues.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Per <a href="https://x.com/OptaJose/status/1907541334514184620" target="_blank">Opta</a>, Torres has the lowest minutes-per-goal ratio of all the players in the top five European leagues who have scored at least 10 goals in all competitions this season. Indeed, the 25-year-old has scored 16 times in 35 games while spending just 1,292 minutes on the pitch, equating to a goal every 81 minutes. It's even more eye-catching when one considers the fact that Torres has started just 12 games all season for Barcelona.</p>

WHAT IS THE STAT?

<p><a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/arsenal-man-city-barcelona-selling-forward-january-transfer-window/bltcf7bdb15134fe96e#cs00c7dadc96f2d7c9" target="_blank">The in-form striker has caught the attention of Premier League clubs like Arsenal and Aston Villa</a>. While his future remains uncertain, it’s clear that Torres is currently thriving in Catalonia, despite having a rotation role. Indeed, Hansi Flick would have to make the bold call of dropping one of Robert Lewandowski, Lamine Yamal, or Raphinha in order to make room for the Spain international in the starting XI.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>The former Valencia and Man City man will be hoping to impress again when Barcelona host an in-form Real Betis side on Saturday, April 5. Flick's troops are currently leading La Liga with a three-point advantage over rivals Real Madrid, but will face a stern test from Manuel Pellegrini's men, who have won six consecutive games since losing 3-2 to Celta Vigo in February.</p>
