Player ratings as Messi booed in Ligue 1 defeat
PSG endured their next defeat in a few video games at dwelling to Rennes, and failed to are worthy of anything additional, getting 2nd best from the off.
The absent side built a potent begin to the match, getting the very first two initiatives on purpose but failing to check Gianluigi Donnarumma with either of them.
PSG settled into proceedings right after the opening 10 minutes, viewing a lot more of the ball, but did not dominate by any means with neither facet capable to take command of the contest and come near to acquiring the opening purpose.
The initially key probabilities of the day came from Kylian Mbappe getting in at the rear of the Rennes defence with runs from deep, but his first energy was dominated out for offside and his second went narrowly broad of the target.
He experienced a different one particular saved by Steve Mandanda towards the end of the initial fifty percent and was made to pay for his overlook quickly later on with Karl Toko Ekambi managing a ball more than the top rated and firing previous Donnarumma just right before the split.
Factors then went from bad to even worse for the reigning Ligue 1 champions straight soon after it with former participant Arnaud Kalimuendo tapping in a square ball from Lesley Ugochukwu to make it 2- with 48 minutes absent.
It became a video game of attack vs. defence right after that with Rennes sitting again to safeguard their guide and PSG dominating possession but not in a position to do something with it, hunting toothless in assault despite possessing the skills of Mbappe and Lionel Messi – who was dropping deeper and further to check out and create a thing.
So very poor were being the house facet that it looked just as probably to develop into 3- as it did 2-1, with the website visitors creating their opponents some serious troubles on the crack. That remained the circumstance until finally the full-time whistle as Rennes eventually claimed their 2nd-straight gain more than Christophe Galtier and co with relative simplicity.
