Barça's victory over Viktoria Plzen left many images to remember and some very curious ones. Among them, was the 'chuleta' that Pablo Torre handed to Ferran Torres on his entrance to the pitch.

The former Racing player, just after coming onto the pitch, went to Ferran showing him the little piece of paper, but he put it inside his socks to continue with the game. A few seconds later, he approached the striker and handed him the 'chuleta'.

On the curious situation, Xavi responded in a press conference that it was a matter of strategy.

 

"Sometimes you make a quick or unexpected change and you don't have time to explain the details of the strategy in corners and set pieces. In this case, it was a positional issue in the strategy. They are changes of position that the player has to understand in tenths of seconds and everyone must understand the idea we have".
