Lionel Messi suffers first defeat as a PSG player – Rennes surprises
The Parisians had won all eight league games before traveling to mid-table Rennes but failed to fire a single shot on target despite Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar starting.
After half-time, Rennes scored twice from Gaetan Laborde and Flavian Tait to secure victory.
Despite losing their first point of the season, PSG remain at the top of the table, but the result raises further questions about the balance within the team.

Mbappe, Messi and Neymar are rightly considered three of the best players in the world and the three played well together in the first half.
Messi, who scored his first goal for PSG in Tuesday’s impressive win over Manchester City, came closest to scoring but his trademark free-kick grazed the underside of the crossbar.
Despite a silky game, PSG failed to make a breakthrough, so Rennes was able to equalize with two goals.
Laborde was there with a volley shortly before the half-time whistle and Tait extended the hosts’ lead with a powerful shot after the restart.
