Torres’s Scoring Burst at PSG Collides With Wobbly Spain Return

His rapid form in Paris has raised hopes that he can win a regular Spain starting spot if he turns club finishes into consistent goals for the national team.

Overview

  • PSG signed Ferran Torres from Barcelona for a reported €50 million in mid‑August and he has since scored seven goals in just 325 minutes across six appearances, quickly becoming one of the club’s leading scorers.
  • Torres publicly credited coach Luis Enrique for restoring his confidence and said the manager helped him maximise his game after a difficult spell at Barcelona.
  • Saturday’s Nations League start for Spain produced a disallowed Torres goal for offside and two clear missed chances, and he was replaced in the 55th minute as substitutes Alex Baena and Mikel Oyarzabal decided the 3-2 win.
  • Spain coach Luis de la Fuente has said selection will follow current form, leaving Torres’s national role fluid and vulnerable to competition from players like Oyarzabal and Baena.
  • If Torres keeps scoring at PSG he will strengthen his claim for a regular Spain place, but his international finishing lapses mean his club momentum must translate quickly into reliable national‑team performances to change the pecking order.
