Ferran Torres relentless in Paris, the numbers behind his start | OneFootball

Ferran Torres settled a tense Ligue 1 Clásico in Marseille, his near-post header giving Paris Saint‑Germain a 2-1 victory over their fiercest rivals. The Spaniard’s start in Paris has been electric.

The Valencia-born forward has seven goals from his first seven shots on target for PSG in official competitions, underlining a ruthless streak. According to Foot Mercato, only Zlatan Ibrahimović began faster, with eight in his first six appearances for the club.

Torres arrived as a specific request from Luis Enrique, and the bet is paying off so far. The coach values his movement, finishing and ability to play across the front line, although he is not yet an automatic pick.

In the biggest matches, Ousmane Dembélé, Désiré Doué and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia still tend to start ahead of him, yet his numbers are steadily forcing the issue.

El Hormiguero hosts Ferran Torres on Monday night. He appears after scoring the goal that gave Spain victory in the World Cup final, a moment that made him one of the central figures of their triumph. The show follows an earlier visit this season from Luis de la Fuente.
