Ferran Torres is proving to be a decisive signing for Paris Saint-Germain. The Spanish forward scored his seventh goal for the club in the Classique victory over Marseille (2-1).
A lightning-fast integration
The 26-year-old, who arrived this summer, has settled in with remarkable speed. His five goals in Paris Saint-Germain's last three outings have been key. He opened the scoring in Brest last week (0-1) before putting his team ahead in Marseille this Saturday. "He brings what we needed," said manager Luis Enrique. "He's an intelligent player, with precise finishing and a great ability to drive forward."
This rising form is perfectly timed. Paris Saint-Germain currently sits sixth in Ligue 1 with eight points, five behind leaders Monaco. The team's record reads two wins, two draws, and one loss, with eight goals scored and seven conceded. The latest win in Marseille makes it two victories in a row, a serious boost ahead of the international break.
The goal details
Torres's seventh goal came in the 66th minute of the clash at the Velodrome, assisted by Désiré Doué. He had already been decisive in Brest by scoring in the 5th minute from an Ousmane Dembélé pass. These performances make him the club's top scorer this season with three goals in four league appearances. His contribution goes beyond the numbers, adding movement and penetration in the final third.

Torres played the full ninety minutes in the last two matches and is set to be a central part of the tactical plan after the break.
