Paris Saint-Germain began their Champions League title defence with a 6-1 victory over Slovan Bratislava on 9 September, according to BBC Sport. The French side dominated the fixture to secure an emphatic opening-night result in Europe's premier club competition.
Ferran Torres was the standout performer in the match, scoring a hat-trick to help his side cruise past the Slovakian opponents. BBC Sport reports that the forward's treble set the tone for a comfortable evening for PSG at home.
Although this report was initially filed in connection with Aston Villa defender Pau Torres, the coverage from BBC Sport makes no reference to him. The Spanish centre-back does not appear in the match details provided by the broadcaster.
With the summer transfer window having closed on 1 September, no Premier League club can complete a signing until the January 2027 window opens. Any future movement involving Villa players would therefore have to wait until the new year.
