  • Ferran Torres scored two goals on his official Paris Saint-Germain debut, helping his team secure a 2-2 draw against Stade Rennes.
  • The Spanish forward came on as a halftime substitute for Ousmane Dembele in the Ligue 1 opening match.
  • Torres netted in the 71st and 82nd minutes, both times assisted by Fabián Ruiz, to prevent PSG from losing.

Ferran Torres made an immediate impact in his official debut for Paris Saint-Germain, scoring twice to salvage a 2-2 draw against Stade Rennes in their Ligue 1 season opener. The Spanish forward, acquired from Barcelona, entered the match at halftime, tasked with helping his team overcome a deficit.

Coach Luis Enrique opted to bring Torres onto the field along with Mika Godts at the break, replacing Ousmane Dembele and Kvicha Kvaratskhelia. This tactical substitution came after PSG trailed 2-0 at halftime, with goals from Stade Rennes' Sebastian Szymanski and Esteban Lepaul.

Torres quickly proved his worth in the second half. Both of his goals were set up by fellow substitute Fabián Ruiz. The first strike came in the 71st minute, where Torres broke the offside trap and finished with a well-placed shot. He then secured the equalizer eight minutes before the end of the match with a header, preventing PSG from starting their league campaign with a loss.
