After a draw in Krasnodar (1-1) and a defeat in Seville (1-0), Stade Rennais lost on Wednesday on the lawn of Stramford Bridge against Chelsea (3-0).
The Breton side Dalbert conceded two penalties (10th, 41st), each time receiving a yellow card, so that Rennes moved to ten in the 41st minute.
Upon returning from the locker room, Abraham, receiving a center from James, increased the bill (51st).
With three games without a win, the qualification for the round of 16 almost flew away for Julien Stéphan's players with, in this group E, Chelsea and Sevilla who took the lead with 7 points.
