Ferran Torres continues in a state of grace. PSG is already starting to profit from his signing for nearly 50 million. At the same time that Barcelona was playing in Elche, in the first 45 minutes the former Barça player celebrated his first goals with the Parisian club’s shirt. It was in Rennes and his brace served to rescue a draw for the two-time Champions League winner.

Luis Enrique’s confidence in Ferran Torres is high and the forward has quickly proven the coach right. His debut could not have been more impactful. He came on, saw, and solved. Truly immediate performance, without much need for preseason or adaptation.
From goal to goal
In his first match after the World Cup final, the scorer was decisive with his new team without needing preseason
Wearing number 9 on his back, Ferran made his debut at halftime replacing Dembélé. PSG was losing 2-0 at Rennes and the team needed fresh air. Besides him, Luis Enrique brought on Godts, another signing, for Kvaratskhelia.
He had not played since July 19 in New Jersey. And in his first match after the World Cup final, in which he scored Spain’s winning goal, the Valencian forward was again very decisive and found the net. With two goals, in the 71st and 82nd minutes, he saved a point for the Ligue 1 champion.

In both actions, Ferran, with two very good runs in the area, was assisted by Fabián Ruiz, another world champion. In the first goal, he controlled with his right foot and scored between the legs of goalkeeper Samba. In the second goal, he headed the ball crosswise into the net.
Without being a pure number nine, he is increasingly comfortable with finishing. PSG is the fourth team he has scored for after Valencia (9 goals), Manchester City (16), Barcelona (65).
