Fans have mocked Ferran Torres after Barcelona's £55million signing flopped on his highly-anticipated debut in El Clasico.
The 21-year-old arrived at the Nou Camp from Manchester City at the beginning of the month but was only registered by the Catalan club on Monday due to their financial complications.
After Barcelona finally registered him, the Spain international made his debut against bitter rivals Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup semi-final.
But despite the grand build up, the forward lasted just 45 minutes into his maiden game for the Blaugrana before Barca boss Xavi replaced him with fellow Spanish starlet Pedri.
Torres's rather lacklustre performance led to fans accusing the LaLiga side of overpaying for him after he failed to register a single shot on target.
One fan was quick to take to social media to slam the debut, posting: 'Ferran Torres’s debut is disappointing - not worth 50 mil.'
One Twitter user joked that the striker had been feeling 'dangerous' as they highlighted that he had more yellow cards and substitutions than goals or assists in a Barca shirt.
'Ferran Torres debut consists of a first half yellow & subbed off in the 46th minute. lol,' another posted.
Other football fans were quick to express their disappointment at the new singing's impact in the high-stakes clash.
Some claimed they had not noticed Torres was on the pitch, while another insisted that substitute Ansu Fati had more impact off the bench.
'Ansu Fati came on as a sub and already made a bigger impact than Ferran Torres,' one supporter wrote.
While another jokingly questioned: 'Wait was Ferran Torres even playing?'
'Ferran Torres yet to play a game of football for Barcelona,' quipped another.

When I looked at the match? There is a lot of positives to come out of it.. even Madrid should be scared now .. A depleted Barca held them to 2-3 in extra time? Ferran hasn’t played since October last year Ansu Fati is just recovering Pedri is playing for the first time in 4 months Pedri and Gavi are just playing together for the first time in their career at the middle of the pack for Barca The front trident of Ansu Fati, Ferran Torres and Dembele has not even been on display… These are my takeaway from the game and if they can fight with their tooth and nail to hold Madrid into extra time!!! One can only imagine if they can play together for 2-3 months without injuries!!! So Barca fans needs to know these is a start of a new project And we are getting closer and closer everyday!!!! Our team will be the toast of others In 12 - 18 months to come!!!! Visca Barca ⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️
