PSG set a record of 89 points in the 2013-2014 season. This achievement has been repeated by them after 35 matches this season. Coach Laurent Blanc's team can break the record further if they win all three final rounds.

Hosting Rennes at home, PSG created a series of chances but it was not until the beginning of the second half that they opened the scoring thanks to a solo effort from defender Maxwell. Ibrahimovic then scored two goals in a row before Cavani sealed the 4-0 score.

Ibrahimovic has scored 34 goals in Ligue 1 this season. This is the most goals scored in a national championship season by a Swedish player.

Despite conceding four goals, it was still an excellent performance from Rennes goalkeeper Costil. The away team's goalkeeper blocked a number of dangerous chances, including one-on-ones from Ibrahimovic and Cavani. Without Costil, Rennes would have likely left the field with a few more goals conceded.

PSG have already won the domestic double by winning Ligue 1 and the French League Cup. They will repeat last season's treble if they beat Marseille in the French Cup final on May 21.
