Cold shower! Barcelona stars ignore Ferran Torres in Spain training
A video from Spain's national team training has set social media ablaze: Barcelona players appear to be completely ignoring Ferran Torres.
Details: The viral footage, shared by TheGoalsZone, shows the 26 year old forward training apart from the Barcelona contingent in the Spain camp, with clips circulating of Pedri and other former clubmates seemingly avoiding conversation with him. Torres left Barcelona for Paris Saint Germain in August, a move that ended his years at Camp Nou, where he became a hero of Spain's World Cup triumph this summer with an extra time winner against Argentina in the final.
The clip has divided opinion online. Some fans are convinced there is genuine tension between Torres and his former teammates, who may feel betrayed by his decision to leave for PSG. Others insist the footage is being overanalyzed, pointing out that training sessions naturally split players into groups and that a few seconds of video prove nothing. The timing, however, is curious: just days ago Torres admitted in an interview that he misses Barcelona, or more precisely one particular person at his former club. That confession now reads very differently next to images of him standing alone while the Barcelona group keeps to itself.
It's worth noting that Spain's coaching staff will not want this story to grow: the national team is in the middle of the longest international break of the season, with Nations League fixtures ahead. Whether the apparent frostiness is real or a social media illusion, all eyes will be on how Torres interacts with the Barcelona players in the coming days of camp.
Reminder: Ferran Torres admits he misses Barcelona. But what exactly does he miss?
