Jakarta –
The reason why Ferran Torres play wearing a jersey that doesn’t include a logo Barcelona seems to have been answered. What’s wrong?
Torres’ goal managed to make Barca equalize 1-1 when they host Napoli in the Europa League playoffs in midweek. He scored his goal in the second half, when the Blaugrana fell behind the Partenopei.
At that moment, Ferran Torres was seen celebrating his goal with a different jersey himself compared to his team-mates. The front of the jersey does not have the Barca logo on the left chest and the Nike logo on the right chest.
It became even more strange because in the first half Ferran Torres wore the same jersey as his team-mates, aka had the Barca and Nike logos on both chests.

So why did Ferran Torres then wear a plain jersey on the chest when he scored a goal in the second half?
There were allegations that it was a form of protest to the club or sponsors. The allegation arises because this is not the first time footballers have covered certain parts of their jerseys in protest.
However, according to Spanish media AS, the absence of the Barca and Nike logos on Ferran Torres’ jersey in the match against Napoli is not a protest. The odd jersey came solely because of a technical error.
So, still say ASthe jersey was misprinted so it did not include the Nike and Barcelona logos on the chest.
The Blaugrana kitman and Ferran Torres himself realized this mistake, who changed clothes at half time, although in the process they were still used for the match in the second half.
