After the 2-1 defeat suffered by Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) on Wednesday in the Champions League, Thomas Tuchel's side consoled themselves by beating Rennes (3rd) in Ligue 1 (3-0), the eighth victory followed by Parisians in the current Ligue 1. The championship leader is in the frame due to injuries (starting with those of Neymar, Mbappé or Icardi), but Ángel di María threw the team on his back and catapulted him with two goals, with his pressure on Moise Kean's opening goal and overall with a stellar performance. The cross, four new injuries for PSG.
It was Kean who advanced to PSG against a Rennes that is still without its great star, Eduardo Camavinga, injured. After an error by Alfred Gomis, Rennes goalkeeper, Kean scored with a right shot. It was the 11th minute. In the 12th minute, Gana Gueye was injured, who was relieved by former Barcelona player Rafinha, who performed well.
Stellar performance by Di María with two goals and key in Kean's
Di María achieved the second of PSG in the 21 '. Paredes sent the ball to Ander Herrera and he made a pass to the Argentine winger, who scored a great goal with his left foot, defining with cold blood and quality. For Tuchel, the last straw is that his team suffered three more injuries, Thilo Kehrer, Florenzi and Kean. They all had to withdraw.
In the 73rd minute, Di María completed his double and made it 3-0 after receiving a ball from Dagba (while Truffert claimed a foul from Marquinhos). The ‘Fideo’ scored with his left foot and the ball was deflected by the leg of Damien Da Silva, Rennes captain, who was about to cut distances in discount, but Keylor Navas prevented it with his intervention.
PSG now have 5 points more than Lille (which will face Brest this Sunday) and 6 more than Rennes.
