Rennes-PSG 2-2, Ferran Torres saves Luis Enrique: comeback sealed by the man from the World Cup final

Brace for the Spaniard, who earns PSG a draw on their Ligue 1 debut

Paris Saint-Germain avoid another defeat (after the one in the French Super Cup final against Lens) and rescue a valuable point away at Rennes on the opening day of Ligue 1. It finishes 2-2, after a game that had looked to be slipping badly away from Luis Enrique's side before they hit back from two goals down.

Ferran Torres led PSG's comeback, the standout performer with a brace in the space of just 11 minutes. The Spanish forward, who arrived less than ten days ago from Barcelona for €50 million, could hardly have asked for a better start in his new shirt and helped the Parisians avoid another slip after their defeat in the French Super Cup final.

Rennes fly out of the blocks and put the French champions under real pressure, racing into a 2-0 lead through Szymanski and Lepaul. PSG take the hit, but after the break they find the response they need to blow the match wide open again. Ferran Torres changes the face of the contest, striking twice in quick succession to drag the game level.

For Ferran Torres, scorer of the goal that gave Spain victory in the World Cup final against Argentina, there could hardly have been a more significant debut: two goals and a comeback that spare PSG another defeat just a few days before the start of the season.
