Ferran Torres says PSG are currently the best team in Europe as he prepares to face former club Barcelona in an emotional Champions League reunion.
Ferran Torres sends Barcelona message ahead of PSG reunion
Ferran Torres has delivered a confident message ahead of his Champions League reunion with Barcelona, declaring Paris Saint-Germain the best team in Europe right now.
The Spain international is preparing to face his former club after leaving Barcelona for PSG, making the upcoming European showdown a deeply personal occasion.
Ferran admitted the match will be “special” and “exciting” after spending four and a half years with the Catalan giants.
Ferran calls PSG the best team in Europe
The strongest statement from Ferran’s latest interview concerned the current status of his new club.
He described PSG as “the best team in Europe” after their recent Champions League dominance.
Ferran pointed to PSG’s success in winning Europe’s biggest club competition in consecutive seasons as evidence of their current strength.
He also suggested that PSG’s recent achievements now create additional pressure for every opponent they face.
PSG targeting another Champions League title
Ferran made clear that PSG are not satisfied with what they have already achieved.
The forward said the objective is to continue improving and fight for a third consecutive Champions League title.
That ambition makes the upcoming meeting with Barcelona one of the standout fixtures of the league phase.
However, Ferran stopped short of predicting an easy PSG victory against his former side.
Ferran expects emotional Barcelona reunion
Despite his confidence in PSG, Ferran showed plenty of respect towards Barcelona.
He acknowledged that facing a club where he spent several years and shared a dressing room with many current players will make the occasion particularly emotional.
Ferran described PSG versus Barcelona as a special fixture and admitted the reunion carries major personal significance.
Rather than guaranteeing victory, he simply said PSG would try to win and see what happens.
No attack on Barcelona
Ferran’s comments have attracted attention because of his recent move from Barcelona to Paris.
However, his words should not be interpreted as a direct attack on his former club.
He did not claim Barcelona were weak or suggest PSG were guaranteed to beat them.
Instead, Ferran combined confidence in his new team with respect for the club where he spent an important period of his career.
Ferran explains decision to leave Barcelona
The PSG forward also revealed more details about how his move away from Barcelona developed.
Ferran said contact with PSG began before the 2026 World Cup.
Once serious discussions started, he became increasingly convinced that moving to Paris was the right next step in his career.
He described joining the reigning European champions as a major opportunity to continue developing at the highest level.
Luis Enrique played major role in PSG move
Another key factor behind Ferran’s decision was his relationship with PSG coach Luis Enrique.
The pair previously worked together with the Spanish national team, and Ferran has spoken warmly about the trust his coach has always shown in him.
Ferran even described Luis Enrique as being “like a father” to him.
That relationship appears to have played an important role in convincing the forward to choose PSG.
Ferran enjoying freedom in PSG attack
Ferran also explained that Luis Enrique gives him flexibility across PSG’s front line.
The Spain international can operate from either wing or through the middle depending on the tactical demands of each game.
Although Ferran feels most comfortable playing as a number nine, he says he is prepared to play wherever Luis Enrique needs him.
That versatility could make him an important weapon when PSG face Barcelona.
All eyes on Ferran against his former club
The Champions League meeting now carries an obvious individual storyline alongside the rivalry between two European giants.
Ferran will face many former teammates while representing a club he now believes sits at the top of European football.
His declaration that PSG are the best team in Europe adds another layer of intrigue to an already highly anticipated reunion with Barcelona.
But despite the confidence surrounding his new club, Ferran’s message remains respectful: PSG will try to win, while he prepares for one of the most emotional nights of his career.
