Strong start in front of goal
GOAL reported that Ferran Torres joined Paris Saint-Germain in a deal worth 48.5 million euros. On his first outing against Rennes, Torres scored twice in a 2-2 draw. He also scored against Brest and Marseille before the international break, then hit a hat-trick against Slovan Bratislava in the Champions League.
Recent run without a goal
Torres has failed to score in PSG's last five matches. He lost his starting spot for fixtures against Manchester City and Barcelona, beginning both games from the bench. Foot Mercato reported that against Barcelona, Torres played 70 minutes and received a rating of 4 out of 10 in its player marks.
Lyon match
Against Olympique Lyonnais on Monday, Torres had four missed chances against Lyon goalkeeper Dominik Greif. Foot Mercato reported that Torres earned 5 out of 10 before being replaced by Senny Mayulu, who scored the opener.
What teammates said
Ousmane Dembélé said: "I was lucky enough to play with him a little at Barcelona. He is a real goalscorer, an out-and-out striker who can also play on the wing. Playing with him is very enjoyable, he has excellent movement, and it is easy to find him on the pitch. We talk a lot, and playing alongside him is very smooth."
Vitinha said: "I hope he continues in this way, he is shining remarkably! We all have to give our very best to reach the same level of effectiveness. We are very happy to have him with us."
