The essential
- After its early elimination in the Coupe de France a little less than two weeks ago, PSG recovered well last weekend by inflicting a severe 5-1 at Losc, on its lawn. A meeting marked in particular by goals from Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé.
- For its part, Stade Rennais remains on a defeat (1-2 at Clermont) and a victory (2-0 against Brest) in Ligue 1. Bruno Génésio’s men are currently in 5th place in the standings and could pick up again in Strasbourg , 4th, in the event of a draw.
- All three injured for some time, Angel Di Maria, Leandro Paredes and Georginio Wijnaldum return to the Parisian group which will need to reboost its midfield, in the absence of Danilo Pereira (suspended) and Ander Herrera (injured) .

28e. Foul by Traoré on Bernat who quickly plays this free kick.
26e. Mbappé ignites the Park with his dribbles but he misses his last and lets the ball go out in 6m.
24e. Magnificent collective movement at the heart of the Parisian game. The ball arrives at the feet of Hakimi who crosses in one touch towards Simons. But the Dutchman is immediately taken over by the Rennais and can do nothing.
21e. Mbappé is launched in the axis in depth! Marquinhos finds it beautifully but struggles to control his ball and commits a handball.
21e. Terrier transplants in the axis from the left and tries his luck from distance, but his ball flies away.
19e. Alemdar anticipates well and comes to capture a cross in front of Messi.
18e. Messi temporizes in the box before giving Bernat on his left, who crosses back towards Simons. But the young Dutchman is countered when he resumes.
14th. The opportunity for Rennes! Santamaria’s header on the corner is slightly too uncrossed. Navas was beaten, PSG are doing well.
13e. Laborde recovers a ball in midfield and serves Majer, who misses his shot somewhat but gets a corner.
10e. Simons plays a one-two with Hakimi but his cross ends up in the gloves of the Rennes goalkeeper. The Parisians are offensive at the start of the match.
7e. Very good center at the far post from Laborde. Bourigeaud tries a volley at the reception, he unscrews slightly but Navas has to box this ball for a corner! But that does nothing.
5e. Cross from Hakimi at the near post for Mbappé. It is cleared by a Rennais.
4th. Oh the fright for the Parisians! Marquinhos completely misses his clearance and Terrier takes advantage of it. But the return of Hakimi allows PSG to save themselves from this complex situation.
2e. Excellent dribble from Bernat to isolate himself in his lane. Unfortunately, no one is at the reception of his center set back.
