Mbappé, again and again!
Still disappointing collectively, PSG can thank Kylian Mbappé, the only scorer on the only shot on target in the match against Rennes (1-0).
One more time.
Faced with compact and applied Bretons, the former Monegasque was the only one capable of worrying the Breton defense.
And if he sinned for a long time in the last gesture, with a good number of strikes outside the frame, the Parisian jewel did not let go and forced the decision by successfully concluding a counter in extra time.
Essential.
Verratti, the other strong man
With Mbappé, he was the other Parisian in sight.
Omnipresent in the midfield (122 balls touched), Marco Verratti was imperial in recovery and did not drop physically over the minutes.
Author of several life-saving returns in the second half, the Italian international confirms his good start to the year 2022.

FLOPS
Messi too discreet
The beautiful image left in Lille seemed very distant this Friday.
Aligned in a role of false n°9, Lionel Messi did not influence enough.
Well taken by the Rennes defense, the Argentinian often stalled but his movements had no effect on the Parisian game.
His decisive pass on Mbappé's goal cannot save his insufficient performance.
A failing Parisian animation
Winner on the wire, PSG once again displayed its collective shortcomings.
The observation is clear: the club of the capital only worried Rennes thanks to the flashes of Mbappé.
Too dependent on their young star, the Parisians have often neglected the sides, while Bernat and Hakimi could have brought much more.
In the middle, Paredes and especially Draxler delivered a performance that was far too neutral, which for a long time prevented PSG from upping the pace.

The action that hurts Rennes very badly
“
Professional misconduct
”.
Martin Terrier and Jonas Martin did not mince words on Prime Video after the meeting, evoking the action of the Parisian goal.
Not worried at the end of the match, the Rennais even believed the victory, but they exposed themselves and let Mbappé conclude a fatal counter in additional time.
A big blow for the Breton club, which missed the opportunity to temporarily take fourth place in the standings.
