Paris Saint-Germain fight back to draw 2-2 with Rennes in Ligue 1 opener

Paris St-Germain secured a 2-2 draw against Rennes on their debut as the new season commenced, with Spain's World Cup winner Ferran Torres netting twice. The match took place at Rennes' Roazhon Park, where Rennes took an early lead with goals from Sebastian Szymanski and Esteban Lepaul. Torres entered the game as a substitute and helped Rennes level the score with two goals, assisted by his countryman Fabian Ruiz.

Both Torres and Ruiz combined again to score the equalizer for PSG in the final stages of the match. The game was moved due to poor pitch conditions at Paris St-Germain's Parc des Princes. Rennes also made their league debut with Adrien Thomasson, who set up the opening goal. Lille managed a 2-0 win over Angers under Davide Ancelotti, who is the son of renowned coach Carlo Ancelotti. Olivier Giroud scored both goals for Lille, with his second coming in the 31st minute.
