Double blow for Stade Rennes. Thanks to their 5-1 card against Metz earlier this Sunday, Bruno Génésio’s men are top of the Ligue 1 standings at the end of the first day. They are logically ahead of the other winners, Monaco, Brest, OM and Toulouse. Anecdotal? Definitely at this stage of the season. But it’s still a small event in the sense that Paris Saint-Germain spent the entire past season in charge in L1. Remember that Luis Enrique’s players shared the points with Lorient (0-0) on Saturday, on the lawn of the Parc des Princes.
Quite logically, the losers are at the back of the pack this Sunday evening, and it is therefore Metz, promoted, which is the red lantern.
