PSG suffered a 2-1 defeat at Rennes on Sunday in Ligue 1, with Edinson Cavani’s opener cancelled out by Mbaye Niang, before Romain del Castillo won it for the hosts.

Neymar was not included in the squad for the game amid talks over am one to Barcelona.

Eduardo Camavinga, 16, impressed in Rennes midfield, drawing plaudits.

Cavani hit the post but then capitalised on a Damien da Silva mistake to send the French side ahead.

Niang levelled just before half time and then Del Castillo nodded in four minutes after the break.

 

Kylian Mbappe and Cavani missed late chances to level but the French champions could not find an equaliser.
