In today’s Copa del Rey quarter-final at the Mestalla, Barcelona took an early lead over Valencia thanks to Ferran Torres. Just three minutes into the game, left-back Alejandro Balde made a precise through pass, enabling Torres to break past Valencia’s defense. Seizing the chance, he calmly slotted the ball past goalkeeper Stole Dimitrievski into the center of the net. Notably, Torres refrained from celebrating the goal, showing respect for Valencia, his former team. (footll-espana.net)
