Ferran Torres will not forget his first Classique anytime soon. The Spanish forward played a decisive role in Paris Saint-Germain’s 2-1 victory away to Olympique de Marseille on Sunday night and fully enjoyed the triumph at the Vélodrome.
Having joined PSG this summer, Ferran Torres was experiencing the rivalry between Paris and Marseille for the first time. The former FC Barcelona player quickly understood the special importance of this fixture, both for the Paris dressing room and the club’s supporters.
“One of the most important games of the season”
After the match, the Spaniard made no secret of his satisfaction and dedicated the victory to PSG supporters, who were banned from travelling to the Vélodrome. “We knew it was one of the most important games of the season for us, and we knew it wouldn’t be easy. But we got the win and we dedicate it to our supporters. Now we’re going to focus on international duty and switch off a little,” Ferran Torres told Ligue 1+.
It was a memorable night for the Paris forward. With four goals in five Ligue 1 appearances already this season, Ferran Torres is confirming his excellent adaptation to PSG. By making the difference on his first trip to Marseille, the Spanish international continues to strengthen his position in Luis Enrique’s attack.
The victory also allows PSG to continue climbing the table ahead of the international break. Paris now sit sixth with eight points, while Marseille have dropped into the relegation zone.
