Bad week for Mauricio Pochettino and his players.

Chased from the Champions League by Manchester City on Tuesday (2-0, 2-1 in the first leg), they see another title move away.

Neymar did not force his talent 

All is not yet lost, but Paris is doing badly and has celebrated the extension of Neymar's contract until 2025, announced the day before.

The Parisians seemed in lack of inspiration, facing determined Stade Rennais.

After a penalty score from Neymar at the end of the first period, PSG was joined by Rennes and a header from Guirassy in the second period (1-1). 

The Brazilian however transformed the penalty (45th + 6) giving the advantage to his people, in a match where he did not force his talent enough.

Rennes gave in just before the break, on a penalty that referee Ruddy Buquet took a long time to grant, after careful viewing of the video.

He finally considered that the outstretched foot of Nayef Aguerd that Layvin Kurzawa sharply hit on a volley was worth a penalty (and yellow for the Moroccan).

But Rennes got a point deserved by Serhou Guirassy, ​​whose impressive relaxation on a corner from Benjamin Bourigeaud subjugated Abdou Diallo, both feet planted in the lawn.

In additional time, PSG were outnumbered to try to get the winning goal after a red card the red card received by Presnel Kimpembe for a tackle on Benjamin Bourigeaud (87th).

By the way, Romain Del Castillo, right winger at Stade Rennes FC, was also sentenced for provoking Kimpembe. 

Three points away from Lille

At the end of this 36th day of Ligue 1 football, Paris is second, three points behind Lille.

They still have to win their last two league matches, against Reims and Brest, and hope for a misstep from Lille, against Saint-Etienne and Angers, to catch up and hope to keep the title.

Paris lost very big.
