Ousmane Dembele scored twice as Paris
Saint-Germain warmed up for the second leg
of their Champions League last-16 tie against
Liverpool by winning 4-1 away to Rennes in
Ligue 1 with a much-changed team on
Saturday.
Bradley Barcola and Goncalo Ramos had PSG
2-0 up in Brittany before Lilian Brassier pulled
one back for Rennes, but Dembele netted
twice in stoppage time to seal the victory for
the visitors.

The result allowed the Ligue 1 leaders to
maintain their unbeaten record in domestic
competition this season.
The Parisians are now a huge 16 points clear
at the top before closest challengers Marseille
play at home to Lens later.
Luis Enrique’s side were ultimately
comfortable winners despite the coach making
eight changes to his starting line-up in
between the two legs of the Liverpool tie, with
the return at Anfield coming up on Tuesday.
“We are in perfect condition to go and take on
Liverpool. We have nothing to lose and we
will give everything to try to qualify,” for the
quarter-finals, said Luis Enrique.

“It was difficult but we put in a serious
performance and it gives us lots of hope
before going to Liverpool,” the Spaniard added
of his team’s display.

• Key players rested –
Barcola, Joao Neves and Willian Pacho were
the only players to keep their places for PSG
against Rennes following the 1-0 home loss to
Liverpool in the first leg last Wednesday.
Dembele was among the regular starters to be
rested at kick-off, but he came off the bench
just after the hour mark and the France
forward’s double strike moves him onto 20
league goals for the campaign.
The player who began his career at Rennes
has now scored 28 times in all competitions
this season, including 23 goals in 18
appearances since mid-December.
