Flying high in C1, Ferran Torres was praised by Pep Guardiola

Ferran Torres moved to Man City from Valencia in the transfer window this summer. Consecutive injuries to Sergio Agüero gave Torres a chance to enter the starting eleven. And he was the one who opened Man City with Mahrez and Sterling last night.

And Torres did not disappoint when he opened the scoring in the 12th minute for Man City. Late goals from Gabriel Jesus and Joao Cancelo helped Green Man win 3-0 to maintain victory in the Champions League this season.

Torres is yet to score goals in the Premier League, but Pep Guardiola believes the City rookie is on the right track and will improve with every game.

“He is playing well again. He scores a nice goal, he moves well with the ball and without the ball. Is growing. Torres has already scored many goals and we are satisfied with his performance.

Pep Guardiola also expressed his joy at having a striker back in the squad, Gabriel Jesús.

“The return of Jesus at this time is very important. That’s the good news, especially when he’s still scoring a goal. But today we have many positive aspects. I’m excited about the performance of the players most of the time and I’m delighted that Jesus is back.

With 9 full points after 3 matches, Man City has a good chance of passing the Champions League group stage this year with first place. The Citizens’ main competitor in this group is Porto, which has 6 points and ranks second.
