Should PSG fans be worried about Ferran Torres' poor form in front of goals?

Last weekend, Paris secured an important 1-0 home victory over relegation-threatened Troyes to reclaim the top spot in Ligue 1 just before the international break. In this game, Ferran Torres struggled in front of goals as Konaté, Troyes' goalkeeper delivered an amazing game with the Spaniard extending his goalless run to eight games.

The former FC Barcelona player has not scored for Paris since their victory over Marseille in Le Classique on September 20th. This drought comes after his incredible start with the Parisians, as he scored seven goals in his first six games for the club. He then appeared as the perfect association with Ousmane Dembélé in attack able to play at each positions of PSG's frontline.

Furthermore, he was expected to enjoy much more minutes, after the injuries sustained by the 2025 Ballon d'Or and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, but has often seen Senny Mayulu or Akliouche be preferred to him by Luis Enrique while he also stopped scoring.

This poor run of form could be seen as normal for someone who is still adjusting to a new country and a new league after his great start, but could also underline a bigger issue for the player.

Luis Enrique is not worried as Ferran Torres' goal drought continues

Despite this run of form, his statistics are still good as he tallied seven goals and one assist in 14 games. His coach tried to defend him after the game against Troyes that saw him miss several clear cut chances, which could have made it easier for his side.

“I already told you at the start of the competition that everyone was worried about Mika Godts, but with Ferran, no problem", said Luis Enrique. "And right now, it’s the other way around. You’re starting to worry about Ferran. Fine. You shouldn’t be worried about any Paris Saint-Germain player. It’s normal. Usually, strikers are the ones who miss chances and score goals.

And what is absolutely essential for me is that the strikers keep getting clear-cut chances, and that’s what we’re looking for. Whenever we play this kind of match, it’s typical to have seven or eight clear-cut chances, as we did today. And today, their goalkeeper played very well, as did their team, and it was difficult, but that’s nothing unusual.”

Hopefully, the international break with Spain will help him to regain some confidence and come back stronger with Paris as they aim to win a third consecutive Champions League title.
