Paris Saint-Germain suffered a surprising defeat in Ligue 1 on Sunday. The leader lost 1-0 at Stade Rennais. In Serie A, Teun Koopmeiners scored with Atalanta’s monster victory over Salernitana: 8-2.
At Paris Saint-Germain, Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappé and Neymar were on the field together again for the first time since mid-November. Messi and Neymar had starting positions and Mbappé came on early in the second half.
Despite the reunion of the super trio, PSG had a hard time with Stade Rennais. For example, PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma had to come into action before the break with attempts by Arnaud Kalimuendo and Amine Gouiri.
Rennes did score halfway through the second half. After excellent preparatory work by Adrien Truffert, Hamari completed Traoré. PSG then created danger via Mbappé and Juan Bernat, but the visitors could not prevent the defeat.
It was PSG’s second loss of the season. On New Year’s Day, the reigning national champion lost to RC Lens (3-1) for the first time this year.
Due to the defeat in Rennes, PSG now has three points ahead of number two Lens, which beat AJ Auxerre (1-0) on Saturday. Stade Rennais is number five in the ranking.

Koopmeiners scores with monster victory Atalanta
Koopmeiners had a busy first half at Atalanta-Salernitana. The former AZ player provided the assist after 23 minutes from a corner kick to Giorgio Scalvini’s 3-1, received a yellow card after half an hour and used a rebound after 38 minutes that arose after a penalty kick he missed. Koopmeiners thus made it 4-1.
Jeremie Boga, Ademola Lookman and Rasmus Højlund also scored in the first half against the Salernitana of basic player Tonny Vilhena. The visitors had an answer to Boga’s 1-0 via Boulaye Dia, but were then outclassed by a swirling Atalanta.
Often duels that have a goal-rich first half bleed to death. This was not the case in Bergamo. Lookman scored the 6-1 shortly after the break, after which Hans Nicolussi did something in return for the visitors. However, Ederson Silva quickly brought the margin back to five. Atalanta then kept attacking, chasing the double digits. The swinging home team did not get further than 8-2 – via a goal from Nadir Zortea.
Not only Koopmeiners, but also Marten de Roon started in the base at Atalanta. The controller was changed halfway through. Hans Hateboer stayed on the bench.
The club from Bergamo is sixth with 34 points. The gap with number three Juventus is only three points. Atalanta will meet Juventus in the next round. Koopmeiners misses that match due to a suspension.
