Ferran Torres has made a sensational start to life at Paris Saint-Germain, matching Zlatan Ibrahimović’s remarkable record after scoring six goals across his first five official appearances for the French champions.
The Spain international completed the feat on Sunday night, scoring the only goal as PSG defeated Brest 1-0 in Ligue 1.
His latest strike means he has now equalled Ibrahimović’s tally of six goals in his first five matches for the club.
A dream start in Paris
Torres has wasted little time making his mark following his move to PSG.
The forward opened his account with a brace against Rennes before producing a hat-trick against Slovan Bratislava in the Champions League. His goal against Brest then took his tally to six in just five competitive appearances.
That scoring run places him alongside one of the greatest forwards in PSG history.
Ibrahimović also scored six times in his first five games for the Parisian club, while Neymar managed five during his opening five appearances.
Torres already making history at PSG
The statistic underlines just how quickly Torres has adapted to his new surroundings.
Rather than needing months to settle into Luis Enrique's system, the Spanish forward has immediately become a major attacking threat.
His movement, pressing and ability to operate across the frontline have made him an important part of PSG's attack.
His latest goal against Brest was also a product of his pressing, with Torres helping create the situation before finishing the move.
The 26-year-old has also developed an encouraging understanding with Ousmane Dembélé, adding another dimension to PSG's attack.
Zlatan's record now within reach
Matching Ibrahimović after only five games puts Torres in elite company at PSG.
The Swede became one of the defining figures in the club's modern history after joining from AC Milan in 2012, and his prolific goalscoring helped establish him as one of the biggest stars in Ligue 1.
Torres has now matched the six-goal mark from the same early stage of his PSG career.
With his confidence growing and PSG continuing to compete on multiple fronts, the Spaniard has an opportunity to push beyond Ibrahimović's mark in his next appearances.
For now, however, six goals in five games represents a remarkable opening chapter.
Ferran Torres has arrived in Paris — and he is already matching Zlatan.
