After point losses in the Ligue 1 and Champions League for two games PSG finally won a game. Honestly I didn't expect this game against Rennes to be comfortable at all. I even thought Rennes would get some points from them. However getting 2-0 ahead in the first half made things much easier than expectations.

Mbappe didn't make any goal contribution in this game. This has been the same for four games by the way. I'm curious about whether he has lost his concentration from now on. Especially after the Newcastle game he must be really frustrated.

Luis Enrique realized that their performance in the previous few matches had been disappointing and this was an opportunity for PSG to get full points when facing Rennes. Mbappe also had several opportunities to score goals, but I see that the final finishing was still not perfect and Hakimi on the contrary be the best player in this match and he succeeded in providing one goal for PSG. Two points behind first place and this time the Ligue 1 competition will be very interesting if Monaco and Nine can become consistent challengers for PSG.

Even though Mbappe didn't score, I think his contribution was big because if he was closely guarded by the opponent's marking, it would give other players space to score. I don't think it was because of a loss of concentration, but rather that his guarding was so tight in the match that it prevented Mbappe from scoring a goal and perhaps the fatigue factor caused by the busy match schedule.
