Not only Matthias Ginter (27) and Florian Neuhaus (23) don’t like to remember Ferran Torres’ (20) gala …
In the 6-0 debacle of the DFB-Elf in Spain last November, Torres shot the German national team with three goals almost single-handedly – the two Gladbach stars Ginter and Neuhaus were also on the field at the time.
On Wednesday evening (9 p.m.) they will meet Borussia in the Champions League round of 16 against Manchester City and Torres. Due to the Corona restrictions, the Gladbachers are not allowed to play their home game in Borussia Park, but had to move to Budapest (Hungary).
Torres has been under contract with the Premier League leaders since the summer. Start coach Pep Guardiola (50) really wanted his compatriot and brought him from Valencia CF for 23 million euros. It currently has a market value of 50 million euros (source: transfermarkt.de). Torres is considered extremely ambitious – just like his role model Cristiano Ronaldo (36). The Spaniard looks at all the goals of the world star, tries to learn from Ronaldo’s game and his extra class.
In 24 games for City, Torres has scored eight goals so far this season. In the league, he has not played that often in previous games, but his Champions League record is strong. In five of the six group games Guardiola relied on the winger, who scored four times.
If the DFB fright also comes into play tonight, not only Ginter and Neuhaus will wake up unpleasant memories …
