Rennes-PSG: the official line-ups

Published: September 2, 2026

By: Manu Tournoux

Initially planned at the Parc des Princes, this match between PSG and Rennes will take place on Breton soil (a meeting to be followed live with commentary on French Football Weekly from 8:45 p.m.) because of the state of the pitch on the Ile-de-France enclosure. If this change has caused a reaction and also a lot of ink to be spilled, the 22 players will still cross swords in order to begin their 2026-2027 season.

Luis Enrique always relies on his 4-3-3 in which we find Joao Neves, Vitinha and Zaire-Emery in midfield. On the attacking front we find Dembele who will be served by Doué and Kvarastskhelia. As for Franck Haise, he is banking on the same system. The top scorer in L1 from the previous year, Esteban Lepaul, holds the number 9 position. The defector from Le Havre, Issa Soumaré will occupy the left wing while Al Tamari will be his counterpart on the right. In defense Cresswell is associated with Ait Boudlal.
