PSG thinks about Lyon
The match took place with PSG with constant possession of the ball, moving it through different areas of the Rennes playing field. On the other hand, Rennes opted for a more passive tactic, looking for counterattack opportunities. PSG's first goal came from a counterattack led by Mbappé, who had previously missed a penalty that would have meant the first goal of the match.
In the second half, PSG continued to control the pace of the game, while Rennes struggled to generate effective attacks. Despite trying to intensify the pressure in the high zone in the final minutes, Rennes failed to equalize the score. The match concluded with a 1-0 victory for PSG, deserved for their dominance on the field. PSG had 6 goal attempts well contained by goalkeeper Mandanda, while Rennes only registered 2 shots that were adequately answered by Donnarumma.

Analysis of the first half
PSG maintained control of the ball for most of the match, only relinquishing it during Rennes' defensive recoveries. For its part, Rennes adopted a waiting strategy, with its well-positioned lines and good defensive play without possession. Despite PSG's attempts to penetrate the opponent's area by building from the defense, they found themselves against a well-organized Rennes. PSG's goal came on a counterattack led by Mbappé, who was about to open the scoring earlier, but was stopped by Mandanda's intervention on the penalty spot. Without a doubt, Mbappé proved to be the most incisive player in the attack. PSG registered 3 shots on goal compared to Rennes' only shot, the latter needs to react in the second half if it hopes to reach the final.
