Amid Liverpool Disappointment, PSG Aim to Keep ‘Invincible’ Ligue 1 Campaign Alive

Amid Liverpool disappointment, PSG remain focused on maintaining their unbeaten Ligue 1 run as they travel to Rennes this weekend. After suffering a narrow 1-0 defeat against the English giants in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie, the Parisians are determined to bounce back domestically before attempting a comeback in the second leg.

PSG’s Champions League Setback

Paris Saint-Germain dominated Liverpool at the Parc des Princes, yet they failed to secure a result. They controlled 65% possession and registered 28 attempts on goal, while Liverpool managed just two. However, an exceptional performance from Alisson Becker denied them an equalizer, with the Brazilian goalkeeper pulling off a stunning late save from Desire Doue’s effort.

“We played our best football, but football is about scoring goals,” said PSG manager Luis Enrique after the match.

Key Champions League Stats:

• PSG: 28 shots, 65% possession
• Liverpool: 2 shots, 1 goal
• Alisson Becker: 7 crucial saves

Ligue 1 Focus: Rennes vs PSG

With the disappointment of midweek behind them, PSG must now focus on Rennes, a team that has given them trouble in past encounters. The Parisians are still unbeaten in Ligue 1 and will aim to extend their lead at the top of the table.

Challenges for PSG:

• Regaining confidence after a tough Champions League loss
• Managing player fatigue ahead of the second leg
• Overcoming Rennes’ strong home form

Players to Watch:

• Kylian Mbappe: Looking to add to his goal tally
• Ousmane Dembele: Providing creative spark in attack
• Gianluigi Donnarumma: Key to maintaining PSG’s defensive solidity

Can PSG Remain Unbeaten?

PSG’s unbeaten league run faces a real test this weekend. While their focus is split between Ligue 1 and the Champions League, maintaining momentum is crucial. A win against Rennes would be the perfect response to their Liverpool disappointment, keeping their confidence high before the decisive European clash.

“We must stay strong mentally and take it one game at a time,” said PSG captain Marquinhos.

Will PSG keep their invincible domestic record intact, or will Rennes cause an upset? All eyes will be on them this weekend!
