FC Barcelona forward Ferran Torres has released a viral ranking of the top 10 most handsome footballers in the world during his media tour in the United States. The Spanish international and World Cup hero placed Cristiano Ronaldo in first place on his list.
The ranking created by the Valencian footballer also features Beckham, Jude Bellingham, James Rodriguez, and Sergio Ramos. However, Torres left out his Spain teammate Marcos Llorente from the top 10. The video sparked widespread commentary on social media, where users pointed to other players worthy of entering the list, such as Cannavaro or Kaka.
The upload is the latest in a series of social media moments for Torres, whose photos, statements, and gestures regularly go viral. Previous reactions centered on his goal celebrations, a photograph of his bare torso wearing a controversial cap, and affectionate gestures shared with national teammate Llorente.
Transfer speculation and future options
The viral top 10 ranking arrived while Barcelona supporters remained angry over explosive statements Torres made regarding his professional future. During an interview on the Today Show, the forward opened the door wide to a potential transfer away from FC Barcelona while evaluating options for his career.
Speaking in an interview with NBC News, Torres explained that he currently holds a contract with Barcelona. However, he noted that in football nobody ever knows what can happen, adding that he is waiting to make the correct decision about his future.
When asked if there is a dream club he hopes to play for one day, the Spanish international declined to give a specific name. He generated curiosity among fans by commenting that his dream is simply to be happy.
Yankee Stadium ceremonial pitch
Torres's media tour in the United States has turned into a goldmine for social media platforms. Beyond his television interviews, the Barcelona striker also visited Yankee Stadium for a Major League Baseball game between the New York Yankees and the St. Louis Cardinals.
Attending the match as a guest of the Yankees, Torres wore a jersey from the New York franchise displaying the number seven. Before the game began, the Valencian player performed the ceremonial opening pitch on the field.
