Ferran Torres made an immediate impact for Paris Saint-Germain by scoring twice on his debut, ahead of the Ligue 1 clash against Lille on Friday, August 28. The match, televised on beIN Sports in the US with streaming options via Fubo and Sling, kicked off at 2:45 p.m. ET at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy, as reported by NJ.com. Portuguese midfielder João Neves is currently sidelined for the Parisian club, a notable absence in the squad detailed on our squad page.
How did Ferran Torres perform on his debut?
Paris Saint-Germain's new signing, Ferran Torres, lived up to the hype last week. Coming off the bench in the second half against Rennes, the Spaniard netted two goals to salvage a point in a 2-2 draw. This performance comes hot on the heels of his match-winning goal for Spain against Argentina in the 2026 FIFA World Cup final. His quick adaptation is a significant boost for manager Luis Enrique as he looks to solidify his team early in the campaign.
What is Paris Saint-Germain's schedule after the Lille match?
The trip to Lille is just the start of a run of major fixtures for Paris Saint-Germain. The first major showdown is a visit to the Stade Vélodrome to face Olympique de Marseille on September 20, in the first Le Classique of the season. On October 25, Paris Saint-Germain will host Olympique Lyonnais at the Parc des Princes. Another highlight awaits fans on December 12 with the first Paris derby of the season against Paris FC.

The injury to João Neves, confirmed in our injuries data, forces the technical staff to reconsider midfield options ahead of this busy period. The team must find a stable balance to navigate this crucial sequence of matches and maintain its position at the top of Ligue 1.
