Green knows Barcelona is led offensively by striker Robert Lewandowski, who has recorded eight goals and four assists. But winger Ferran Torres has raised his game of late, netting four of his seven tallies over his last two La Liga contests. The 23-year-old, who scored four goals in each of his first two seasons with Barca, converted in the team’s 2-1 triumph over Las Palmas on Jan. 4 before registering a hat trick in last Sunday’s 4-2 victory against Real Betis.
The expert also is aware that Villarreal are looking to end their string of three straight losses to Barcelona that has followed a 2-0 win in May 2022. The Yellow Submarine were shut out in back-to-back meetings before the setback earlier this season in which they owned a 3-2 lead in the second half. Gerard Moreno has converted just once in his last seven league matches but is tied for sixth in La Liga with nine goals, while fellow striker Alexander Sorloth netted his seventh tally in the team’s 1-1 draw against Mallorca last Saturday.
