Ferran Torres gave Paris Saint-Germain a narrow but vital 1-0 win at Brest on Sunday, supplying the first Ligue 1 victory of the champions’ slow-starting season with another decisive finish.
Ferran Torres powers PSG through Brest test
The Spain international struck after combining with Ousmane Dembélé, whose touch set up Torres for a clean shot. It was his third Ligue 1 goal in four matches, continuing an explosive first few weeks in Paris following his €48.5 million summer move from Barcelona.
Torres has now scored six times in five PSG appearances. Those numbers place him alongside Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who also reached six goals in his first five outings for the club, and ahead of Neymar’s five-goal start.
The 1-0 result at Brest arrived only days after Torres marked his first Champions League appearance for PSG with a hat-trick in the 6-1 victory over Slovan Bratislava. The world champion has quickly become the most productive figure in an attack still finding its rhythm.
Luis Enrique praises Torres-Dembélé link
Luis Enrique was far from satisfied with the overall display despite the result. “It is remarkable that we won,” the PSG coach said after the match. “This was the worst of the four games we have played.”
However, he highlighted the understanding between his two forwards on the winning goal. “I really liked the connection between them,” Luis Enrique said of Torres and Dembélé.
Dembélé knows his new teammate well, having spent a year and a half alongside him at Barcelona. The Ballon d’Or winner described Torres as “a fantastic player and an excellent number nine,” adding that “he is always there when you need him.”
PSG were not convincing on the Brittany coast, but Torres again made the difference. In a stuttering opening to the domestic campaign, his finishing is already carrying considerable weight.
