Ousmane Dembélé, the 2025 Ballon d'Or, was taken off at half-time at Rennes, then held a post-match discussion with Luis Enrique.

Paris Saint-Germain drew 2-2 at Roazhon Park, the closing fixture of matchday one in Ligue 1. According to L'Équipe, the exchange was initially tense but constructive.

Dembélé waited while Enrique completed broadcaster interviews and the mandatory press conference before they met.

The conversation ultimately led to an agreement for the forward to be given a period of rest.

He later left Roazhon Park long after most team-mates, hood up and in good spirits.
