Rennes drew 2-2 with reigning European champions Paris Saint-Germain, forcing Luis Enrique to send on nearly €150m worth of attacking talent from the bench to salvage a point. The result underlines Rennes' credentials as the strongest challenger to PSG in Ligue 1 this season, with their pressing and transition play troubling the champions for long periods before PSG's superior squad depth told.

Sebastien Szymanski put Rennes ahead with a deflected effort before Esteban Lepaul doubled their lead, prompting PSG to introduce half-time substitutes Ferran Torres and Mika Godts. Torres, assisted twice by Fabián Ruiz, scored both PSG goals to rescue a draw, while Willian Pacho made a goalline clearance to preserve it. Manager Franck Haise has strengthened Rennes with signings including defender Charlie Cresswell, midfielder Adrien Thomasson and striker Lepaul, backed by owners the Pinault family, whose financial stability contrasts with the crises affecting rivals Marseille and Monaco.
