Paris Saint-Germain secured a hard-fought victory over Rennes on Sunday to move back into the top spot in the Ligue 1 table.
The French champions were well on top going into the match and took control early on through a goal from Kylian Mbappe. However, Rennes fought back bravely and created some chances of their own before halftime.
In the second half, PSG's dominance continued as they found the net again through a goal from Lionel Messi. The Argentine forward scored his first goal for the club since joining from Barcelona last summer, providing a much-needed boost to the team's morale.
Despite the loss, Rennes remain in third place in the table and will be looking to bounce back against struggling Bordeaux next weekend. Meanwhile, Paris Saint-Germain continue to lead the way in Ligue 1, with just one point separating them from the top spot.
Overall, it was another solid performance from PSG under new manager Mauricio Pochettino, who has been praised for his tactical acumen and ability to bring out the best in his players. With two games left in the season, the pressure is now on for other teams to make up ground and secure a spot in the playoffs.
