Paris St-Germain 1-2 Rennes
- Published
Paris St-Germain celebrated retaining the French title but saw their party dampened as Rennes inflicted a first home Ligue 1 loss of the season.
Laurent Blanc's team were crowned champions shortly before kick-off after second-placed Monaco were held to a 1-1 draw by Guingamp.
Monaco's draw left PSG with an unassailable seven-point lead ahead of the final two rounds of matches.
Ezequiel Lavezzi gave PSG an early lead before mid-table Rennes fought back.
Goals from Foued Kadir and Paul-Georges Ntep gave the visitors a 2-1 lead before the half-hour mark.
Even the return of Sweden striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who scored 40 goals in 44 games before injuring his thigh against Chelsea in April, could not inspire a fightback at the Parc des Princes.
Nevertheless, the Parisian club's players and staff were given a rapturous reception as they performed a lap of honour after the full-time whistle.
