"Ghosting when it mattered most", "He is a fraud" - Barcelona fans slam star after getting knocked out of UCL following 4-3 loss to Inter Milan
Barcelona fans on X have blasted Ferran Torres after he struggled to make an impact during their 4-3 loss against Inter Milan. The Blaugrana were knocked out of the UEFA Champions League after losing 7-6 on aggregate in the semi-finals, following the second leg at the San Siro on Tuesday, May 6.
After both sides played out a thrilling 3-3 draw in the first leg, Inter Milan broke the deadlock in the 21st minute via Lautaro Martinez's close-range finish. Hakan Calhanoglu dispatched his penalty to double their lead in the 45th minute after Pau Cubarsi fouled Martinez inside the box.
Barcelona were phenomenal after the break and appeared to have one foot in the final after producing a memorable comeback. Eric Garcia (54'), Dani Olmo (60'), and Raphinha (87') scored one goal apiece to make it 3-2.
However, Francesco Acerbi proved to be the hero for the hosts, netting in the third minute of stoppage time to send the game into extra time. Davide Frattesi then found the bottom corner in the 99th minute to hand Inter Milan the lead, knocking the Blaugrana out of the Champions League.
Ferran Torres led the line for Barcelona, playing 90 minutes. However, he struggled to make an impact, making just 14 touches. The 25-year-old completed just six passes from an attempted nine (67 percent accuracy), created zero chances, completed zero dribbles, and landed no shots on target from one attempt.
