    PSG’s perfect start ends with shock defeat at Rennes

    Paris St-Germain’s 100% start in Ligue 1 was ended by Rennes as Lionel Messi suffered his first defeat since arriving at the club.

    The hosts scored two quick goals either side of half-time through Gatetan Laborde and Flavien Tait.

    Mauricio Pochettino‘s side did not have a single shot on target, despite Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe all starting.

    The defeat is PSG’s first in Ligue 1 since April, when they were beaten by last season’s eventual champions Lille.

    Rennes opened the scoring on 44 minutes when Laborde converted from Kamaldeen Sulemana’s superb cross.

    Tait added a second soon after the restart with a sweeping finish into the bottom corner.

    After slicing an effort high over the bar in the first half, Mbappe thought he had pulled a goal back for Pochettino’s side midway through the second half, only for it to be ruled out for offside by the video assistant referee (VAR).

    The Frenchman is now on a run of five games without a goal in all competitions.

    PSG were spared further damage when referee Ruddy Buquet reversed his decision to award Rennes a penalty for Achraf Hakimi’s foul on Laborde after checking the pitchside monitor.

    Neymar missed a volley in the first half and Idrissa Gueye fired wide of the post, but Lionel Messi came closest for PSG when he hit the crossbar from a free-kick.

    Bruno Genesio’s Rennes side had only won twice in Ligue 1 heading into Sunday’s game, but were clinical in front of goal and scored from two of their four shots on target.

    The result leaves PSG top of Ligue 1 on 24 points, six points clear of Lens, while Rennes move up to seventh.
