Welcome to Sportstar’s HIGHLIGHTS from the PSG vs Rennes Ligue 1 match at the Parc des Princes in Paris.

  • March 19, 2023 23:32
    Full Time : PSG 0-2 Rennes

    That’s the full-time whistle! Paris Saint Germain is beaten at Parc des Princes for the first time in 751 days. April 2021 was the last time it suffered a home loss. It was a mix of a wasted chances and lack of creativity from the Parisiens. It created far too few scoring chances than it usually does. Plus, whatever attempts it got - Mbappe in particular - it squandered. Rennes scored on either side of half-time to take the three points on the night. It completes a league-double over the defending champion. PSG’s lead at the top of Ligue 1 could be cut to seven points. Surely, the pressur on Galtier mounts after this loss. We’ll have to wait to see what his future holds.

    That is all from the live coverage. You can stay updated with the latest football news on Sportstar.
