And this way we have to learn. So, you can see in PSG, everyone, everyone wants the ball. Everyone knows how to use the space, everyone knows how to play one against one, two against one, how you do it. And this is also something we have to learn, we have to make better." 14.

TORRES AT MIXED ZONE  STORY: Paris St Germain battled back from a goal down to grab a late 2-1 win over Barcelona in a gripping Champions League encounter on Wednesday (October 1), with the defending champions overcoming a raft of injuries to secure a valuable away victory.
