Foios honors World Cup hero Ferran Torres with new mural

Foios commemorated Ferran Torres' match-winning goal in the World Cup final with a new mural at the municipality's sports centre. The piece shows the forward celebrating with the trophy and incorporates the figure "106" to denote the exact minute he scored against Argentina. A banner alongside his name highlights his connection to the town, echoing a celebration that took place on 7 August when he arrived back as a world champion.

Local officials said the artwork will permanently preserve the moment in Foios' history and invite fans to view it. The tribute coincides with Torres' impending transfer from FC Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain, marking the end of his five-year spell in Catalonia. His tenure at Barcelona included 40 goals in his last two seasons and the iconic World Cup moment that defined his career. Regardless of his next destination, the mural ensures his July 19 heroics remain a lasting part of the town's identity.
