PSG found themselves trailing by two goals at Stade Rennais in Roazhon Park on Sunday before mounting an impressive second-half fightback in their first match of the French top-flight season. The Parisian giants, seeking to reclaim the Ligue 1 title, appeared destined for a disappointing start until Torres changed the complexion of the contest.
Torres, brought on from the bench during the second half, struck twice in quick succession to level the match and claim a crucial away point. His performance marked an impressive debut for the Spanish international, who has joined PSG on a summer transfer.
The draw leaves PSG with work to do as they seek to establish early momentum in their title challenge. Stade Rennais, meanwhile, will feel they allowed a winning position to slip through their fingers in their own campaign opener.
The result sets the stage for both clubs to refocus on their respective league objectives, with PSG aiming to reassert their dominance in French football after a challenging previous season.
