Barcelona have no shortage of talented young midfielders, but based on the early evidence, they have unearthed another one.
The Blaugrana brought in Pablo Torre from Racing Santander over the summer in a deal that will rise from €6m. The 19-year-old has struggled for game time since arriving, but what little he has had, Torre is taking.
Scoring on his first start for Barcelona against Viktoria Plzen back in November, Torre took just three minutes to deliver his first Barcelona assist in the Copa del Rey against Intercity.
Without doing too many spectacular things, Torre had a neat and effective first half whenever he was given the ball. The highlight was undoubtedly a neat turn on the ball, under pressure, on the edge of the Intercity box.

Although Ousmane Dembele, who was found with the pass, failed to convert the shooting opportunity on the edge of the box, it was the 19-year-old’s inventiveness that created it.
1 – At 19 years and 276 days, Pablo Torre is the youngest player to be involved in a goal in each of his first two starts for Barcelona in all competitions (one goal and one assist) since at least 2013/14. Future. pic.twitter.com/b3aRy87rum
