PSG's draw didn't affect the standings so it can't be said to be bad, but in my opinion, playing at home against Rennes is quite unfortunate to have to get one point. Rennes is ranked seventh and PSG should be able to get full points in this match, especially since they are playing at home. Even though PSG dominated the match, Rennes' defense was so solid that it made it difficult for PSG players to score goals. This must be an evaluation material for Luis Enrique because if he is allowed to play like this, it will be quite difficult for PSG to play well in the Champions League, because the competition there will be much more difficult.

Instead, PSG conceded first, although in the end Ramos equalized in the minute of stoppage time with a penalty. I think this match doesn't show PSG's true strength at all and if they play like this in the Champions League it will be quite difficult for PSG to win. The reason is, facing a team like Rennes PSG it is very difficult to find opportunities to score goals and in the Champions League it will definitely be much more difficult.

Rennes is in good momentum, before drawing against PSG, they managed to beat Milan in the Europa League play off. Even though in the end Rennes failed to advance to the last 16 due to difference the goal margin, the victory over Milan made Rennes gain confidence. Of course PSG will not be touched at the top of the standings, if PSG loses in the next 3 matches, it is not certain that the other Ligue 1 contestants will be able to overtake them. Such is the competitive level of Ligue 1 at the moment, with the depth of PSG squad, no club can break their dominance in the last few seasons.

The draw against Rennes was a bit disappointing, many bettors then thought that PSG chances in the Champions League were very low, because in Ligue 1 alone they had not been able to appear completely consistent. But personally, I don't think it has a big influence, Enrique will certainly try to win in the next match versus Monaco. The match against Monaco was an opportunity to gain better confidence, ahead of the second leg after that against Sociedad. I predict PSG will advance to the quarter finals.
