"Ferran Torres delivered a superb display against Espanyol in the derby, netting twice in the first half to end a 14-game scoring drought that had stretched back to January."

"After the full-time whistle on Saturday, Torres did not hold back when addressing his critics. 'There is always external noise with me, always in the bad more than in the good,' he said."
