Rennes maintained their unbeaten home record at PSG’s expense with a 1-0 victory over the French champions. Despite an embarrassment of riches and talent at their disposal, Christophe Galtier’s men failed to bag the expected win. The Parisians have not won at Rennes since 2018, and this loss further adds to their woes.
PSG dominated possession and dictated the game during the first 45 minutes, however, the best chance of the half fell to the hosts. Kalimuendo’s powerful effort drew a save from Italian shot-stopper Gianluigi Donnarumma, and both sides went into the break level at 0-0.
However, the hosts did not back down in the second half and kept pushing till they got their reward. Rennes skipper Hamari Traore stepped up in the 69th minute to side-foot in the opening and only goal of the game. It was a beautifully executed goal, a testament to the resilience of Rennes as they kept pushing forward despite numerous attacks from PSG.
Rennes have failed to keep a clean sheet in their previous nine games but managed to hold on to a clean sheet at the final whistle. It was an impressive defensive performance from Rennes, who had to deal with the likes of Neymar, Mbappe, and Messi.
This loss will come as a huge disappointment to the Parisian club, who were in great form before this game. They will have to regroup quickly and come up with a plan to get back to winning ways.
