The Monegasques beat the Rennais (1-2) this Saturday for the 7th day of the championship. They temporarily go first ahead of PSG.
Monaco temporarily took the lead in Ligue 1 by beating Rennes (2-1) on Saturday evening before PSG’s trip to Nice on Sunday, while Lille overthrew Toulouse (2-1) after their European exploit against Real Madrid. Facing Rennes (10th, 7 pts), which continues to get stuck in the crisis following the arrival of President Arnaud Pouille, the Rocher players suffered but united.
They held the score despite a magnificent goal from Rennais Ludovic Blas (1-1, 11th) and several big chances from the Bretons (45+6, 49th, 58th, 89th). The only bad news for Monaco comes from the infirmary: Folarin Balogun, scorer (2-1, 22nd), is out following a shoulder injury, as well as Lamine Camara, injured in the ankle.
With this victory and 19 points, the Monegasques clearly stand out from OM (3rd, 14 pts), who were again slowed down against the last of the championship, Angers (3 pts), Friday evening (1-1), after having fell in Strasbourg last weekend (1-0).
