  "account": "Ferran Torres, a World Cup winner, netted two goals for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) during their Ligue 1 opener against Rennes, salvaging a 2-2 draw. The 26-year-old, who scored the winning goal for Spain in their World Cup final victory over Argentina, joined PSG from Barcelona for approximately £42.7 million on August 15. Coach Luis Enrique switched Torres to the field at halftime, replacing Ballon d’Or winner Ousmane Dembele, after PSG was trailing 2-0. Torres replaced Dembele in the lineup and scored in the 71st and 82nd minutes, earning him the admiration of the fans. PSG had been struggling in the first half, conceding early to Sebastian Szymanski, and Esteban Lepaul scored a second goal just before halftime. However, Rennes could not maintain their lead as they lost the game, and the match was rescheduled to Brittany, with the pitch at the Stade des Alpes severely damaged due to heatwaves. PSG, aiming to win their sixth consecutive Ligue 1 title and their third Champions League trophy, now faces a pivotal season ahead.",
