Paris Saint-Germain left Rennes with a point in hand after a 2-2 draw on the opening day of Ligue 1 this Sunday. Trailing 2-0 at halftime, the capital club saw Ferran Torres come off the bench to score two decisive goals in the final minutes of the match.
PSG, stunned at the break by two goals from Rennes, endured a difficult start to the game. But Ferran Torres’ introduction at the restart changed the dynamic. The Spaniard, a 2022 World Cup winner, exploited the spaces left by the Breton defense to score twice and secure a crucial equalizer for his team. The goals allowed the Parisian club to leave with a point despite a lackluster first-half performance. The offensive response after the break was praised by manager Luis Enrique, who highlighted his player’s impact.

The PSG coach was quick to highlight Ferran Torres’ contribution after coming on and making an instant difference. “He played quite well, didn’t he?” he said with a hint of irony, acknowledging the significance of his intervention. The brace marks PSG’s first success in Ligue 1 this season, even if victory ultimately slipped away. The team’s ability to respond after halftime will be a point to improve in upcoming matches.
