JAKARTA - Barcelona manager Hansi Flick praised Ferran Torres' ability to replace Robert Lewandowski. He scored a hat trick in a 5-0 win over Valencia in the Copa del Rey quarter-finals at Mestalla, Friday, February 7, 2025, early morning WIB.
Fermin Lopez and Lamine Yamal also scored goals to help Barcelona join Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, and Real Sociedad in the semifinal draw next week.
Hattrick Torres has added his tally of goals this season to 11 goals in all competitions. No wonder, Flick is increasingly using the winger as the center forward to rest Lewandowski.
"It's important for everyone to show their best. Ferran, his performance is very good."
"Sebagai pemain nomor 9, mencetak gol itu penting. Dia melakukannya dengan sangat hebat hari ini."
"I'm happy because he scored three goals. It's amazing that he hasn't had any easy times this season."
"He came back after injury and I am happy for him, he played great today," Flick said at a press conference on Friday, February 2025 WIB.

Torres was one of several players who entered the Barcelona team as Flick strengthened his squad, with Lopez, Frenkie de Jong, and Eric Garcia also starting.
The changes did not affect Barcelona's rhythm as they managed to win over Valencia 7-1 in La Liga two weeks ago with a 4-0 lead at Mestalla in the first 30 minutes.
"Now it's important (to show that depth) because we had difficult weeks and months until the end of the season."
"It's important for everyone to show their best, how good they are. It really helps us."
"I'm happy with the players who come, score goals and play very well. I'm happy like the game against Valencia at home (in La Liga)."
"Today we started from scratch with great focus, created great chances, and scored goals," said the German coach.
Meanwhile, Barcelona will travel to Sevilla on Monday, February 10, 2025, early morning WIB, in La Liga.
