Carles Puyol backs Ferran Torres after Barcelona misses

Former Barcelona captain Carles Puyol had a message of support for Ferran Torres after the forward missed several good chances to win Thursday’s Europa League play-off against Napoli.

Puyol took to Twitter with some supportive words for the new signing after the final whistle at the Camp Nou. He wrote, “Ferran Torres will give us much happiness. Visca Barca.”

Barcelona went behind in the match when Piotr Zieliu0144ski slotted home but leveled from the penalty spot in the second half through Ferran Torres.

Yet it should have been even better than that for the Spain international who had two glorious chances in the closing stages but missed the target with both.
