Never before, neither with Barça nor with his two previous teams, Manchester City and Valencia, had Ferran Torres (Foios, 24 years old) scored in three consecutive games. In Dortmund (2-3), it took twenty minutes for the versatile Barça striker to score a double that boosted the Barça up to second place in the classification of the Champions League.
