Paris Saint-Germain have won the Ligue 1 trophy but it was a bitter-sweet celebration as they lost to Rennes.
PSG'S 41-match league unbeaten run at Parc des Princes came to a disappointing end as Rennes secured a shock 2-0 win on Saturday.
Billed as a celebration of the retiring Thiago Motta, the midfielder partly had himself to blame for the tainted farewell as he gave away the penalty that Benjamin Bourigeaud converted for the opener soon after half-time.
Adrien Hunou was the man to have been felled for the spot-kick and the forward capped the upset by latching on to a long ball with 19 minutes left, bringing an end to PSG's hopes of surpassing their own Ligue 1 record of 96 points.
Coach Unai Emery, due to leave made four changes to the team that beat Les Herbiers in the Coupe de France final in midweek and was served a sluggish performance.
He could have done with the attacking spark of Neymar, who watched from the stands and later joined his team-mates for the trophy presentation.
While that alone is cause for celebration among Brazil fans hopeful of his World Cup fitness, there was less reason to be cheery among PSG supporters as the final home match of a season in which they have completed a treble marked something of a low note.
Reports.
