Paris Saint-Germain secured a 4-1 victory over Rennes, with Ousmane Dembele scoring twice to reach his 20th league goal this season. Bradley Barcola and Goncalo Ramos also found the net for PSG, who bounced back from their recent defeat against Liverpool. This win extended their lead at the top of Ligue 1 by 16 points.

The match saw PSG take control in the 27th minute when Desire Doue set up Barcola for his 13th league goal. Shortly after halftime, Barcola assisted Ramos, who doubled the lead. Rennes responded with a header from Lilian Brassier, but Dembele's late goals sealed the win for PSG.

Dembele's impact was significant as he scored twice in stoppage time. Achraf Hakimi provided an assist for Dembele's first goal, which he bundled home. Moments later, Dembele curled in a shot from 18 yards, marking his first time scoring twice off the bench in a league game.

PSG's unbeaten away run in Ligue 1 now stands at 37 matches. Only AC Milan has a longer streak among Europe's top five leagues with 38 games between 1991 and 1993. This season, PSG has scored 70 goals in Ligue 1 after just 25 matches, achieving this feat for the third time.

Barcola has been involved in more goals than any other player in Europe's top leagues this year. With his contributions against Rennes, he has participated in 30 goals across all competitions this season, tallying 18 goals and providing 12 assists.

This victory not only solidified PSG's position at the top of Ligue 1 but also brought them closer to matching Milan's record. The team's performance continues to impress as they aim to maintain their dominance throughout the season.
