Barcelona Player's Shirt Controversy in Napoli Match

Barcelona Player's Shirt Controversy in Napoli Match

Barcelona winger Ferran Torres sparked widespread controversy among his fans and Catalan media during the match against Napoli on Thursday, which was the first leg of the UEFA Europa League knockout playoff. Torres scored the only goal for his team in the match, which ended in a 1-1 draw. He netted his goal in the 59th minute from a penalty kick, and during his celebration, it became evident that there was no Barcelona logo on his shirt, unlike his teammates. Additionally, there was no logo of the club's sponsor, Nike, which led to extensive discussions on social media. Barcelona has yet to release any statement to explain or clarify this incident, but Spanish media speculated that Torres may have been forced to wear a shirt without his team's logo due to not having another shirt with the logo available when he changed clothes at halftime.
