Manchester City striker Ferran Torres starred as Spain beat Italy 2-1 to reach the Nations League final on Wednesday night.

Italy went into the game with a staggering 37-game unbeaten run, but came unstuck at the San Siro.

Spain took a first half lead as Mikel Oyarzabal crossed for Torres to finish brilliantly from inside the box.

Leonardo Bonucci was sent off for two bookable offences, and Torres then added a second before the half-time break.

The City star headed in another Oyarzabal cross, showing his predatory instincts.

Italy did pull one back from Lorenzo Pellegrini, but Spain held on for the win to book a place in the final.

Manchester City ace Torres steals the show for Spain

Torres has been out of City’s starting lineup in recent weeks, but gave Pep Guardiola a great reminder of his quality.

City fans have been reacting on Twitter to Torres’ brilliant performance, calling on Pep Guardiola to play him more.

Some think Torres is ‘unbelievable’ and ‘outstanding’ having dismantled Italy.

Others believe Torres is proving he is better than Anthony Martial and even Harry Kane having produced a clinical display.
