PSG–RENNES 1–1
Kylian Mbappé played for the first time in front of the Parc des Princes crowd since announcing his departure in the summer. He was not received as a traitor – L’Équipe also dedicated a separate news item to this – the audience gave him the usual affectionate greeting, another issue is that the world champion did not play well, he was replaced by Luis Enrique following an hour.
(After the match, the Spanish master was asked why he replaced Mbappé so early. According to L’Équipe, the answer was: “It’s very simple, sooner or later we have to get used to playing without him. I will stick to this in the future. If I want play, you will play, if this is not the case, then it will not be.”)
PSG dominated the field, but in the middle of the first half, Rennes took the lead: Amin Guiri he laced up four Paris players before he lifted it into the long top from 13 meters with a right outside, 0–1 (VIDEO HERE!).
The Bretons, who have been in great shape in recent weeks, maintained their advantage with organized football, but two points slipped out of their hands in the first half – not under any circumstances.
In the 86th minute, Mbappé’s replacement, Goncalo Ramos, won a penalty, but the VAR room called referee Bastien Dechepy for a discussion, who reviewed the footage and then withdrew his decision – and showed Ramos a yellow card for a fall.
This was not the last act of the Portuguese attacker. In the 96th minute, the VAR room checked in once more, referee Dechepy once more looked at what he had to look at, and this time PSG came out of the filming well: once more Goncalo Ramos was the suffering party, goalkeeper Steve Mandanda’s entry was deemed illegal by the referee, a penalty might have been awarded, which the victim took advantage of, 1–1.
PSG’s 97th-minute penalty saw PSG maintain their 18-game unbeaten run, while Rennes dropped points following six wins.
MARSEILLE–MONTPELLIER 4–1
The league debut of Jean-Louis Gasset, the new Marseille head coach who replaced Gennaro Gattuso, got off to a bad start, as Montpellier – in which he spent his entire playing career and which he later managed twice as head coach – took the lead in the 5th minute with a goal by Jordanian Musa al-Tamari. .
Then at the break, the score was already turned, and thanks to the double Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, OM easily won. The team from Marseille won the championship once more following six rounds, Gasset also made his debut in the championship with a victory following the international stage.
