Rennes 2-2 PSG Player Ratings: Ferran Torres' Late Double Saves Major Scare For PSG As Rennes Fail To Keep A Clean Sheet Once Again

Luis Enrique's PSG were looking to shrug off their French Super Cup drubbing at the hands of Lens, as they faced Stade Rennais in their opening matchday fixture of the 2026/27 Ligue 1 season. The reigning UEFA Champions League winners expected a tense atmosphere, but their first-half performance fell far short of what they have shown in the past two seasons.

Stade Rennais FC struck early through Sebastian Szymanski, whose long-range effort ricocheted off the left hand post of Matvey Safonov and into the back of the net. One of the best footballers in the world currently, Ousmane Dembele had the best chance to score the equalizer for the visitors, but he skied his shot from six yards out, something the Frenchman should have put away.

Things worsened for Paris Saint-Germain, as Rennes went and got their second of the game in the 38th minute. Mousa Tamari held Pacho well on the right flank and performed an exquisite backheel to play Przemyslaw Frankowski through on the overlap, whose low cross was met by Estéban Lepaul to finish at Safonov's first post.

PSG's effort to get at least a goal back finally bore fruit in the 71st minute, when two substitutes, Fabian Ruiz and Ferran Torres, combined to get the visitors back in the game. Torres received a luxurious chip over the Rennes defense, and he finished the ball between the legs of an onrushing Brice Samba to score his first goal for his new club.

The duo combined once again to level things up for PSG on the night, as Ruiz's cross was glanced really well by Torres, which gave Samba no chance to react. Ludovic Blas's flying header in the 86th minute was cleared off the line by Willian Pacho, as Safonov was a mere spectator.

Without any more action from either side, the game ended all square, but PSG really showed a lot of character in the last 20 minutes of the gam, where the substitutes proved to be decisive.
