PSG Secures Convincing 4-1 Win Over Rennes, Dembélé Scores Twice

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) secured a decisive 4-1 victory over Stade Rennais in their Ligue 1 match on March 8, 2025. Substitute Ousmane Dembélé was instrumental, scoring twice in stoppage time to reach his 20th league goal of the season. 

The match began with PSG asserting dominance; Bradley Barcola opened the scoring in the 28th minute by slotting the ball through goalkeeper Brice Samba's legs. Rennes responded with vigor, with Ludovic Blas narrowly missing an equalizer and Mohamed Meïté hitting the crossbar.

 PSG's Gonçalo Ramos doubled the lead in the 50th minute, but Rennes' Lilian Brassier pulled one back three minutes later, igniting hope for the home team. Despite their efforts, Rennes couldn't overcome PSG's late surge, with Dembélé's goals sealing the win. 

This victory extends PSG's unbeaten run in Ligue 1, placing them 16 points ahead of second-placed Olympique de Marseille, who suffered a 1-0 home defeat to Lens.
