Ferran Torres shines for PSG with Rennes brace, a month after decisive World Cup final goal | OneFootball

One month after scoring the decisive goal in the World Cup final against Argentina, Ferran Torres delivered a superb PSG debut with two goals in the 2-2 draw at Rennes last Sunday.

According to L'Équipe, seven years on, Luis Campos likely relived in reverse at Rennes the match that first put Torres on his radar.

On 5 November 2019, Valencia, featuring Lee Kang-in, knocked Lille out of the Champions League on matchday four with a 4-1 comeback. Campos, now PSG’s sporting director, was working at the French club then.

Torres came on in the 30th minute with Valencia trailing 0-1, and the energy of his 19 years helped turn the tide. He even earned the top rating of 8.

That display offered an ideal introduction in Paris and hinted at an attacker who could reshape PSG’s frontline.
