Storm in the tunnel after home loss to Rennes as PSG winner and loser star

Lionel Messi stormed off the pitch after Paris Saint-Germains 2-0 loss to Rennes on Sunday.

Petulant that his actions were, its easy to see why he might be peeved.

His PSG side had just been thoroughly beaten by a theoretically inferior opponent, turning in a lifeless showing against a side 16 points behind them in Ligue 1.

And the Parisians never really got into the game. Kylian Mbappe had some early opportunities early, but veteran goalie Steve Mandanda twice equaled his efforts.

And Rennes capitalised on PSGs inability to find the back of the net. It was a simple thing that undid PSGs backline.

Karl Toko Ekambi timed his run well, snatched onto a lofted pass and fired his shot across a helpless Gianluigi Donnarumma.

This time, it was Arnaud Kalimuendo doing the damage, finishing from close range into an open net as PSGs back five collapsed.

PSG showed some fight after, with some attacking substitutions giving the league 1 leaders some legs up front. But Rennes were more than comfortable defending their advantage, and enjoyed a moment or two on the break, as well.

PSG supporters made their disgust known after the game but Messi was already long gone by that time.
