Messi started alongside Neymar, Kylian Mbappe, and Angel Di Maria for PSG's second match after missing the previous two Ligue1 games due to a knee injury.

Messi hit the crossbar with a free-kick in the first half at Roazhon Park before Gaetan Laborde volleyed Rennes ahead just before halftime with his league-leading sixth goal.

Despite their strong play, PSG could not open a gap on the scoreboard, allowing Rennes to score two goals that effectively ended the game.

Laborde finished off a volley just before halftime, and Tait doubled the hosts' lead with a sweep in the second half.

Things turned out bad for PSG in its recent match; however, the previous one was a blast as Messi scored his very first goal for PSG.

The match was against Manchester City on Tuesday, September 29. He came close to scoring again, but his signature free-kick crashed off the bottom of the crossbar.
