Ferran Torres' PSG scoring streak continues with decisive
Ferran Torres has made a stunning start to his Paris Saint-Germain career, scoring the opening goal in a 2-1 win over bitter rivals Marseille on 20 September 2026. The Spanish forward now has seven goals in his first six appearances for the French champions, a blistering pace that has made him an instant fan favourite.
While his on-field transition has been seamless, the move from Barcelona has presented personal hurdles. Torres, 26, described the sudden nature of the summer transfer. "It's difficult: one day you're here and the next you're packing your bags," he said. He joked about the teammate he had to leave behind, stating, "The only one I can't bring with me is Pedri." The forward is learning a new language and adjusting to a different daily routine in a new country.
He does have familiar faces to help, including manager Luis Enrique, whom he calls his "footballing father," and former Barcelona colleagues Fabian Ruiz and Pedro 'Dro' Fernandez. This support network has been vital as he settles into the Parisian dressing room.
Coming off the bench just before the hour mark at the Stade Velodrome, Torres replaced Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and made an immediate impact. In the 66th minute, he met a Desire Doue cross with a precise header to break the deadlock. His goal ignited a frantic period where Marseille's Angel Gomes equalised, only for PSG captain Marquinhos to score the winner three minutes later. The victory extended PSG's lead at the top of the Ligue 1 [standings](/standings) and sent Marseille into the relegation zone after their fifth straight loss.
The statistics behind Torres' hot streak are remarkable. Data shows he has maintained a 100 percent strike rate on target in official competition for PSG, converting all six of his shots on goal. This clinical edge was on full display just days before the Marseille clash, when he scored a hat-trick in the Champions League on 13 September. His ability to deliver in big moments, both domestically and in Europe, has quickly established him as the standout figure in Luis Enrique's attack.
His form has carried over from an incredible summer where he scored the extra-time winner for Spain in the World Cup final against Argentina in July. He is now set to join the national team for their first post-tournament match against England in the Nations League.
