Ferran Torres faces different roles at PSG and Spain

Ferran Torres is experiencing contrasting roles with his club, PSG, and the Spanish national team. At PSG, manager Luis Enrique has designated Torres as a starter for the upcoming Champions League match against Barcelona. This tactical decision is based on Torres's intimate knowledge of his former club, specifically his ability to exploit the defensive spaces and positioning used by Hansi Flick’s side.

In contrast, Spanish national team coach Luis de la Fuente is taking a more disciplined approach. Despite Torres's strong form at PSG, De la Fuente intends to maintain Mikel Oyarzabal as the starting striker. The coach reportedly wants to manage Torres's expectations, ensuring the player understands that club performance does not guarantee an automatic starting position in the national squad, which prioritizes collective tactical fit over individual momentum.
