The first half of the FC Barcelona vs Atlético de Madrid match has been intense, with the latter taking an early lead and scoring a second goal shortly after. However, the FC Barcelona team, led by Hansi Flick, has responded well, managing to equalize before the end of the first half. The coach is likely to be satisfied with the team's reaction, but not with the poor start, as the Copa del Rey is one of the most important titles of the season, along with LaLiga and the Champions League.

Hansi Flick has decided to start Ferran Torres as the '9' in the match, with Robert Lewandowski on the bench due to his consecutive playing schedule. However, Ferran Torres has failed to impress, missing crucial opportunities and raising doubts about his ability to be the team's main striker. His performance has been underwhelming, and Flick has already started considering alternatives for the next season, such as Alexander Isak or Viktor Gyökeres, to ensure the team's level does not drop when Lewandowski is not playing.

Ferran Torres has demonstrated his ability to adapt to the role of a revulsivo when coming on in the second half, but his performance as a starter and reference point has been questionable. The lack of alternatives has forced Flick to use him in this position, but it is clear that it is not his ideal role. The team's dynamics and fluidity are affected by his playing style, and Flick needs to find a solution to this problem. The intensity of the match has been high, and the team's ability to respond to the challenges posed by Atlético de Madrid will be crucial in determining the outcome of the match.

In other news, Pedri and Raphinha have expressed their desire to see Ferran Torres as a starter, considering his recent performances and the impact he has on the team's velocity and mobility. The players believe that Ferran Torres' inclusion in the starting lineup would give the team an edge in terms of dynamism and fluency, especially against a solid defensive team like Atlético de Madrid. The team's schedule for the tournament is as follows:

  • FC Barcelona vs Atlético de Madrid (semifinals)
  • Potential final match against the winner of the other semifinal
The team's statistics in the Copa del Rey are:
  • Ferran Torres: 4 goals
  • Julián Álvarez: 4 goals
  • Robert Lewandowski: 2 goals

The Copa del Rey is a crucial tournament for FC Barcelona, and the team's performance will be closely watched. The match against Atlético de Madrid is a key test for the team, and the outcome will have a significant impact on their chances of winning the title. With the team's current form and momentum, they are well-placed to make a deep run in the tournament, but they will need to overcome the challenges posed by Atlético de Madrid and other top teams to achieve their goal.
