Ferran Torres, the great signing of Paris Saint-Germain this season, is going through his first scoring crisis since arriving in Paris after registering eight consecutive matches without scoring. The Spanish forward, aged 26, has not found the net since September 20 against Olympique de Marseille, and his recent performances are starting to raise doubts about his offensive output.

The player failed to score again on November 7 during PSG's 1-0 victory over Troyes. Despite having several clear chances, he could not beat the opposing goalkeeper and was substituted in the 70th minute by Luis Enrique.

Ferran Torres goes from scoring seven goals to going eight matches without finding the net

The change in performance is particularly striking considering his early matches in France. Ferran Torres started the season with seven goals in six matches, impressive numbers that allowed him to become one of the main offensive references for the Parisian team. Doubts about Ferran Torres in PSG.

His adaptation seemed immediate. He debuted with a brace against Rennes, scored three goals in his Champions League debut against Slovan Bratislava, and was again decisive against Brest and Marseille.

However, his last goal came nearly two months ago. Since then, the forward has lost his effectiveness in the box and has also seen reduced prominence in certain lineups from Luis Enrique, who even left him on the bench during the European match against Villarreal.

The situation has been complicated by the injuries to Ousmane Dembélé and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. Both have been absent, and it was expected that Ferran would take on more scoring responsibility, but other players like Mika Godts, Senny Mayulu, and Maghnes Akliouche have had to provide offensive solutions.

Luis Enrique defends Ferran Torres despite his misses against Troyes

The last match showcased several actions that explain his lack of accuracy. Against Troyes, Ferran had up to three clear chances against goalkeeper Hillel Konaté, who prevented the forward from regaining his scoring touch.

In the French press, confidence is beginning to be pointed out as one of the possible factors contributing to this drought. However, Luis Enrique has downplayed the importance of the finishing errors and considers it essential for the player to continue creating opportunities.

The coach maintains his trust in a player who also contributes off-the-ball movements, pressure on the opposing defense, and the ability to exploit spaces. These characteristics allow Ferran to continue participating in the collective play despite his lack of goals.

A drought that Ferran Torres has already experienced at FC Barcelona

The current difficulties recall certain stages of his career at FC Barcelona. During the 2024/2025 season, Ferran scored 19 goals, while in the following campaign he surpassed 20 goals, although he also went through prolonged periods without scoring.

In 2024, he managed to go on a streak of 16 official matches without scoring, a streak partially affected by an injury. His longest negative record as a Barcelona player was 20 consecutive matches without scoring during the 2022/2023 season.

Ferran Torres' next challenge will be to regain his scoring efficiency when competition resumes after the November international break. Paris Saint-Germain maintains its lead in Ligue 1 and Luis Enrique has alternatives in attack, so the Spaniard will need to seize his upcoming opportunities to regain prominence.
