On the day coach Hansi Flick continued to play as a center forward instead of Robert Lewandowski, Torres had a memorable performance. In the first half, the Spanish striker had a hat-trick of assists for Eric Garcia and Raphinha (double) to score for the home team.
With this achievement, Torres made history as the first player to score a hat-trick of assists in El Clasico in over 10 years.
However, apart from creating opportunities for his teammates to score, Torres did not have any shots on target. He played widely and often dropped deep to support Barcelona's attacks. Torres played for 89 minutes before being taken off and replaced by Gavi.
In La Liga this season, Torres scored 10 goals and contributed 6 assists for Barcelona. Lewandowski's left thigh injury created conditions for Torres to have the opportunity to start for Barcelona.
On May 7, Torres also played as Barcelona's top striker in the away match against Inter Milan in the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals. However, he was blocked by Inter's defense and did not make any significant impression.
Defeating Real Madrid 4-3, Barcelona has a bright chance of winning La Liga this season. The gap between the two teams has increased to 7 points, while the season has only 3 matches left.
In the next match, Barcelona will visit Espanyol on May 16.
