PSG’s consecutive winning streak in all competitions stopped at 5, when they were held to a draw at home at Parc des Princes. Mbappe played poorly even though coach Luis Enrique arranged him to start from the start.
The French spearhead was replaced in the 65th minute, when PSG was leading. On the way off the field, Mbappe was whistled and criticized by many PSG fans.
Le Parisien said the disappointing reaction of fans of the French capital team did not only come from Mbappe’s performance against Rennes. They were disappointed when the player decided to leave the club for free this summer.
As for Mbappe, he also clearly showed his displeasure at being replaced early when the team needed a goal. The striker born in 1998 even threw the captain’s armband at teammate Vitinha with a careless look.
Many PSG fans criticized Mbappe because he could directly hand over the captain’s armband after leaving the field. After receiving the captaincy from Mbappe, Vitinha gave it back to teammate Danilo Pereira, PSG’s vice-captain standing nearby.
The defending Ligue 1 champions faced many difficulties against Rennes. They even almost lost if it weren’t for Goncalo Ramos’ successful penalty kick in the 90+7 minute.
Rennes opened the scoring first in the 33rd minute thanks to Amine Gouiri. On a day when PSG’s spearheads were disappointing, the French capital team played hard.
However, the Ligue 1 race is still under PSG’s control. They are still firmly at the top with 54 points after 23 rounds, 9 points ahead of second-place team Brest.
Brest is a phenomenon of Ligue 1 this season when they suddenly played sublimely recently. In this round, they also defeated Strasbourg with a score of 3-0.
