At the end of a fairly contested game, Paris-Saint-Germain won 3-0 against Stade rennais on behalf of the tenth day of Ligue 1. The Parisians, deprived of Bernat, Kimpbembe Verratti, Sarabia, Mbappé, Neymar and Icardi (all injured), quickly took over. On a poor recovery, the Rennes almost offered them the first goal. After a pass from Bourigeaud countered by Di Maria, Keane recovered the ball before adjusting Gomis (1-0, 11th minute). Ten minutes later, on superb inspiration, Herrera found Di Maria in the back of the Breton defence. The Argentine was then able to quietly lob the Rennes goalkeeper (2-0, 21st). Les Rennais ont eu un quelques chances pour revenir avec Nzonzi (28e), Doku (38E) ou Gboho (45e), mais c'est Di Maria, qui a inscrit le troisième but de La Rennais s'étaient arrêté de jouer, reclais une foule (3-0, 73E).
With this success, Thomas Tuchel's men continue their series of eight consecutive league victories and are reassured a little after their defeat against Leipzig on Wednesday in the champions League (defeat 2-1). They are now five points ahead of second-placed Lille, who face Brest tomorrow, and six ahead of third-placed Rennes. But despite the victory, not sure that the Parisians come out very happy of this match: Gueye and Kehrer came out with injury to join an infirmary already well filled in the first half. Kean also came out in the second half, and Florenzi had been replaced prematurely earlier.
Côté rennais, C'est une deuxième lourde défaite cette semaine, après celle en Ligue des champions contre Chelsea (3-0). Les Bretons occupent toujours la troisième place (à égalité avec Marseille), mais ils pourrait voir Nice leur passer devant en cas de victoire demain contre Monaco. After a stellar start (four wins and one draw), the Rennes have won only one of their last five league matches.
