Torres Scores Debut Brace as PSG Draws with Rennes; Newcastle Holds Liverpool

Ferran Torres made an immediate impact in his Paris Saint-Germain debut, scoring a second-half brace to salvage a 2-2 draw against Rennes in their Ligue 1 season opener. Rennes had taken a commanding 2-0 lead into halftime with goals from Sebastian Szymanski and Esteban Lepaul, but Torres' late heroics secured a point for PSG.

In the Premier League, Newcastle United showcased a spirited performance, holding Liverpool to a draw at St. James' Park. Yoane Wissa was instrumental for the Magpies, tormenting Liverpool's defense and spearheading an attacking display that suggests Newcastle can compete with the league's top teams. Meanwhile, Aston Villa suffered a heavy 4-0 defeat to Brighton, with questions arising about Ollie Watkins' future at the club.
