Pablo Torre’s Much-Needed Boost: Eyeing Santiago Bernabéu Opportunity

Pablo Torre’s season with Girona continues to be a rollercoaster ride, transitioning from a peak moment to reduced participation in recent matches. The suspension of Yangel Herrera might open the doors for him at the Santiago Bernabéu, where he’s yet to make his debut.

The midfielder, on loan from FC Barcelona, experienced a standout period with the red and white team earlier in the year, securing several starting positions and earning praise from his coach, Michel Sánchez.

However, the return from injury of Yangel Herrera and the emergence of Portu have relegated Torre to the challenging reality of the bench in recent matchdays, just when he was in top form, making the situation even more challenging.

In the last three league matches, following three consecutive starts, Torre played only 17 minutes against Sevilla, none against Celta, and 20 against Real Sociedad. In the Copa del Rey, he had a ‘blank’ in the Round of 16 against Rayo Vallecano and managed only 17 minutes in Mallorca. The situation is being closely monitored by his parent club, FC Barcelona, as Torre is set to return to the blue and red discipline on June 30.

There is currently no anxiety, but there is a strong desire for Pablo Torre to rediscover his form with Girona. The upcoming clash at Santiago Bernabéu on Saturday (18:30 hours) provides an excellent opportunity for Torre to reassert himself, especially considering he hasn’t had the chance to play at this iconic venue yet.

The suspension of Yangel Herrera might once again open the door to a starting role, as Torre showcased his skills and made a convincing impact when the Venezuelan was sidelined due to injury.

However, increased competition arises as Portu, who had limited impact until recently, is now featuring prominently in Míchel’s plans, especially in the midfield. There’s a possibility that the Murcian player might be deployed upfront if Artem Dovbyk is not fully fit.

In any case, the Real Madrid-Girona match could serve as the much-needed catalyst for Pablo Torre to regain prominence in the revelation team of the season.
