Paris Saint-Germain suffered an early first defeat of the new Ligue 1 campaign after Rennes came from behind to win 2-1 at Roazhon Park.

Edinson Cavani had given the visitors the lead in the 36th minute when he capitalised on a stray pass in the penalty area from Rennes captain Damien Da Silva. However, the hosts were level just before half-time through a fine shot on the turn by M’Baye Niang. Romain Del Castillo headed the home side in front soon after the restart and they could have added another when Jeremy Morel’s volley came back off the post.

Morata nodded home a cross from England defender Kieran Trippier in the 23rd minute and things got even better for Atlético when Getafe’s Jorge Molina was shown a straight red card for a studs-up challenge in the 38th.

The home side’s numerical advantage only lasted four minutes though, as debutant left back Renan Lodi earned two yellow cards in the space of 60 seconds and followed Molina down the tunnel. Atlético’s João Félix thrilled the crowd with a superb run in the second half which led to him winning a penalty but Morata’s spot-kick was saved by David Soria.
