Veteran Sergio Ramos and Carlos Soler weren’t fit for selection and missed because of injury as PSG chased down another domestic win to edge closer to the title.
Rennes were forced to issue a change after just five minutes when Adrien Truffert picked up a knock and needed to be replaced by fellow defender Birger Meling. Former Olympique Marseille goalkeeper Steve Mandanda came to his side’s aid before the break when he parried a flying volley by Messi following smart footwork to the offensive area.
A shake-up from the home team at the start of the second period had Warren Zaire-Emery introduced and Timothee Pembele taken from the field of play.
