Paris – Goncalo Ramos secured a 1-1 home draw for Ligue 1 leaders Paris Saint-Germain against Rennes on Sunday with a penalty conversion in the final moments of the game, salvaging a point against their formidable opponents.
Brest secured second place, trailing by 11 points, following their 3-0 victory over Strasbourg on Saturday.
Enrique conveyed, "This is a message for all. I hold high expectations for our players. There's no room for slacking on the pitch. When you step onto that field, I expect each of you to give it your all. Let it resonate within you: 'I'm here to seize every opportunity.'"
Monaco climbed to third position, trailing by an additional two points, with a dramatic 3-2 victory against Lens on Sunday, courtesy of a late goal by Japanese forward Takumi Minamino.
Nice played out a goalless draw against bottom-ranked Clermont at home, sitting just one point behind in fourth place. Lille suffered a 3-1 defeat against Toulouse, placing them in fifth position.
In the evening fixture, Marseille rallied from a goal down to defeat Montpellier 4-1, claiming their first league victory of the year.
Rennes, victorious against AC Milan in the Europa League, opted to rest Benjamin Bourigeaud and Martin Terrier, both instrumental in their recent success. Bourigeaud notably scored a hat-trick against the Italian side.
They seized the advantage when Amine Gouiri struck a shot into the upper corner in the 39th minute.
After sixty minutes, PSG substituted their key forward Kylian Mbappe, who has expressed his intention to depart at the season's end.
"We need to adapt to playing without Kylian Mbappe," remarked coach Luis Enrique, who also made substitutions for Ousmane Dembele and Bradley Barcola.
As the home team desperately pushed for a tying goal in added time, Ramos, subbing in for Mbappe, received a yellow card for simulation in his attempt to earn a penalty. Moments later, he collided with goalkeeper Steve Mandanda.
This time, after a video review, the decision favored the Portuguese striker, who successfully converted the penalty, ending PSG's unbeaten streaks: 18 games in Ligue 1 since September and 19 across all competitions since October.
This win also spared PSG from a repeat home loss to Rennes for the second consecutive season. Since the Qatari takeover in 2011, Rennes has defeated PSG seven times, making them the French team with the most victories over PSG during that period.
