Four days after their disappointing Coupe de France final loss to Guingamp, Stade Rennais bounced back with a stunning victory on PSG’s home turf (1-2). This crucial win all but guarantees their survival in Ligue 1.
“We’re delighted with this result. We needed to turn things around. Securing our place in the league is a relief, and now we’ll focus on preparing for next season,” shared Franco-Malian midfielder Doucouré on the club’s official website.
With these three valuable points, Philippe Montanier’s squad now sits six points clear of Sochaux, the first team in the relegation zone. While it’s still mathematically possible for Sochaux to catch up, Rennes’ superior goal difference (+1 compared to Sochaux’s -22) virtually secures their place in the top flight.
