Luis Enrique's side brushed aside Rennes for a perfect intro ahead the crucial Champions League tie against Liverpool on Tuesday night
This has turned into a joke at this point. Paris Saint-Germain are so dominant in the Ligue 1 that not even Rennes - much more than a decent side in an excellent form - could hurt them one bit.
It ended 4-1 for the Parisians on Saturday, as the Saints managed to overcome the stress and disappointment following that awful 1-0 loss to Liverpool in the Champions League in midweek.
Luis Enrique's boys scored four and could have netted a few more times, despite the fact Nuno Mendes, Vitinha, Dembele, Khvicha and Hakimi didn't start today's game.
Rennes, sitting 11th, and PSG rotated a big chunk of their squad away from home—still up 3-1. Try rotating heavily against 11th placed Brentford in England and see if Mbuemo and Wissa won’t drum on your skull

Bradley Barcola took the keys and drove this mighty machine straight to a landslide victory. He opened the scoring before assisting Ramos to double the lead.
However, Rennes managed to peg one back, which resulted in Luis Enrique's interesting move - he went for a quadruple change. Dembele, Mendes, Vitinha and Khvicha came on to wrap up the tie, and they did it almost immediately as the game's pendulum began to shift sides.
À Paris, à Rennes, partout...

PSG started to play with much more intensity. In the end, Dembele netted twice against his former side during the stoppage time to kill the rival and prove that Les Parisiens are ready for the battle of all the battles against the Reds on Tuesday.
