PSG: Ferran Torres Follows in Patrick Mboma's Footsteps

Ferran Torres made a striking debut with Paris Saint-Germain, scoring a memorable double against Rennes on August 24, 2026. This performance placed the Spanish forward alongside Cameroonian icon Patrick Mboma, who was a pioneer of this remarkable feat for the Parisians. In 1994, the legendary Indomitable Lions striker made an impact by scoring twice against Vac FC during Champions League qualifiers. Patrick Mboma's historical performance remains etched in history as a symbol of a stunning entry into the French capital. Since then, only Swedish giant Zlatan Ibrahimovic has matched this achievement, scoring twice in the league against Lorient in 2012.

Ferran Torres revives this memory from over thirty years ago, beautifully linking himself to the legacy of his illustrious predecessors. The list of players who have scored a double in their first match for Paris SG in all competitions includes:
- Patrick Mboma (Cameroon) in 1994 vs. Vac FC (C1 qualifiers)
- Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Sweden) in 2012 vs. Lorient (L1)
- Ferran Torres (Spain) in 2026 vs. Rennes (L1)

This performance was not just a personal achievement for Torres but a moment that highlighted the connection between past and present in PSG's storied history.
