The teams are controlled by two of the richest French families, owners of several high fashion brands, who together have a personal wealth of 210 billion euros
It was the luxury derby. And whoever says luxury necessarily also says Italy, given that on the one hand the Arnaults, with the LVMH group, own not only Paris FC since last year, but also famous brands such as Loro Piana and Fendi. On the other, Pinault’s Kering group which has controlled Rennes since 1998, but also Gucci or Bottega Veneta, among others. But more than a challenge of elegance, tonight was above all the first football duel between the two large and rich French families who together account for 210 billion euros in personal wealth alone, of which 150 billion for the Arnaults. The derby went to Rennes, with a goal by Embolo who made the most of the deeper bench than that of the newly promoted team.
SANCTION
—
On the pitch, the game only became less shabby after the half hour mark. First, a lot of physicality and inelegant maneuvers, with a single flash from Kebbal, with a left foot from midfield to challenge Samba (23′). Maignan’s assistant in the national team was also forced into overtime on Lees-Melou (35′) and Krasso (39′). While the guests came close to taking the lead with young Meité at the end (45′). In the second half, Paris Fc hit the post with right back Chergui, served from the left by Simon (20′). And again the intersection with the other full-back De Smet, with a left-footed shot from the edge (32′). And as often happens in football, after so much waste the sanction arrives: punctually in the 36th minute with the percussion of Embolo, taken from Monaco in the summer for 15 million euros, to make the Pinaults happy. Rennes extends their lead in the standings, climbing to eighth place, +4 from Paris FC, eleventh. Tomorrow De Zerbi’s Marseille hosts Brest. PSG closes the round on Sunday in Lyon.
