The Poland international now has eight goals in his first five games for Xavi’s side, and Roberto is absolutely loving having the striker at the Camp Nou.

“The truth is that his signing for us is like a gift… He has scored a lot of goals already and apart from this he’s a great professional and an incredible person,” he said.

“We had talked about how important it was to win this first game and show that we’re going for it [Champions League]. Today 5-1, it couldn’t be better.

“We have just started, the season is very long, so all of us in the squad have to be prepared. We all have to add up. We have a complete squad and they are all very good.

“Today has been very special, from the beginning the people are very excited. We all have to be very united, the president, the players and the fans”.

The Spain international has only started once this season but made an impact in the Champions League after coming on for the final 25 minutes.

Torres teed up Lewandowski and then scored his first goal of the season with a fine volley from an Ousmane Dembele pass.
