The Story in 60 Seconds

Ferran Torres has experienced a noticeable dip in form for Paris Saint-Germain after failing to score in his last five appearances. Manu Tournoux of French Football Weekly argues that the forward's initial honeymoon period has ended following mixed performances and consecutive bench starts against Manchester City and FC Barcelona. Torres recently struggled in front of goal against Olympique Lyonnais, where he missed four clear opportunities before being substituted.

The recent slump stands in sharp contrast to the Spaniard's blistering start in Paris following his €48.5 million transfer, which included a brace against Rennes and a Champions League hat-trick against Slovan Bratislava. Despite drawing praise from teammates Ousmane Dembélé and Vitinha earlier in the campaign, Torres has struggled following a left ankle issue, with Tournoux noting an upcoming match against Le Havre offers the ideal chance to recover his form.
