For his first season at Stade Rennais, Estéban Lepaul (26 years old) is putting in a very good performance. With 19 goals scored in 32 Ligue 1 matches, the former Angevin is simply on track to end this 2025/202§ season with the title of top scorer in the championship.
An unexpected new status which gives him hope for a potential presence in Didier Deschamps’ list for the 2026 World Cup. However, six days before the coach’s announcement, The Team tells us that there is little chance that Lepaul will be in the game. The daily writes that the French staff have noticed the performances of the Rennais and welcome his career, but that there is a gap in level between the L1 and a major international competition. Without forgetting a group logic very dear to DD.
