Analysis The numbers behind the result
PSG's second-half surge salvages point against clinical Rennes
Rennes will rue missed opportunities after a 2-2 draw that saw them outperform their xG (1.07) with two first-half goals from Szymanski (9') and Lepaul (38'), capitalizing on PSG's defensive disorganization despite having just 31% possession. PSG's 1.91 xG reflected their dominance in chance creation (19 total shots, 10 corners), but they were wasteful until Ferran Torres' late brace (71', 82'), both assisted by Fabián Ruiz, rescued a point.
The hosts' early lead was built on efficiency, converting their only two shots on target in the first half, while PSG saw a goal disallowed for offside (21') and struggled to break down Rennes' compact block. Enrique's triple substitution at halftime (Dembélé, Kvaratskhelia, Neves introduced) shifted momentum, with PSG registering 13 of their 19 shots after the break. The decisive stat was PSG's 90% pass accuracy (vs Rennes' 78%), allowing sustained pressure that eventually told.
