Paris Saint‑Germain opened its Ligue 1 season on Sunday with a 2‑2 draw at Rennes after newcomer Ferran Torres scored twice off the bench. The Spanish forward, who arrived from Barcelona following his World Cup‑winning goal for Spain, found the net in the 71st and 82nd minutes, both assists coming from teammate Fabian Ruiz.
Rennes had taken the lead early, with Sebastian Szymanski and Esteban Lepaul each scoring in the first half. Torres’ goals sparked a comeback that allowed PSG to avoid a second straight defeat to start the campaign, following a penalty‑shootout loss to Lens in the French Super Cup.
