0-2: PSG: neither here nor expected

When a team runs out of soul, it runs out of nothing. The defeat against Rennes may not compromise their goal of revalidating the league too much, but PSG faded after saying goodbye to the Champions League: 0-2. A neat rival puts the champion on the ropes, not connecting at all. The casualties where he came Christopher Galtier conditioned, but others did not react. With two and a half months to go, the calendar threatens to last forever for the Parisian team.

The ball is no stranger to what happens in the stands, sometimes as important or more so than what happens on the pitch. In front of Rennes the news is no less low than the people, disappointed by the debacle in the Champions League. Except mbappeacquitted in any trial, there was indifference to the radicals but there were also some whistles against Messiwhich they believed was responsible, among others, for the continental defeat in Germany.

A bad delivery John Bernat which led to a deadly counterattack from Rennes, beaten by Calimuendo in small area: 0-2. Moved by PSG last summer, the striker avoided celebration. The fans’ buzz is infectious as the confused faces of al khelaifi and Louis Fields in the box, both petrified.

A shot of Verratti can give life to PSG, but boss He signed a brilliant fight to prevent the resurgence of the champion. In the final stage, Messi tried several discrete actions, mbappe tried several races and ekitike He threatened high, but Rennes couldn’t continue. The face of Leo, stunned, reflected another afternoon of horror for PSG. In the absence of the Champions, the league knows little. Only mbappe saved from burning.
