The French press noted the entry of Rennes into the playoffs of the Europa League and the well-deserved victory over Dynamo, writes Team1 .
L.'Equipe
"Europa League: Rennes beat Dynamo Kiev and secured a place in the 1/8 finals," states L.'Equipe.
“The winner of Dynamo Kyiv is guaranteed to play at least in the playoffs of the Europa League. At the same time, Rennes have scored in their last thirteen matches in all competitions. The last time the Bretons did not open the opponent's goal was on August 7, in the match against Lorient.
In the match against Dynamo, Rennes captain Benjamin Burigot was omnipresent, whether it was set pieces, corners, combinations or shots on goal. And bought by Rennes for 9 million euros in the last hours of the transfer window, Christopher Wu supported his partner and brought victory to his team, sending the ball into the net after a Burigot corner. Impressive debut!”, — says the publication.

"Europa League: Rennes secured play-off qualification," echoes Le Figaro.
“Proof that the Bretons are beginning to lead the international arena was the victory in today's match on experience. A week after the victory at Roazon Park (2:1), they again beat Dynamo Kiev, this time in Krakow.
The solid experience of the Ukrainians did not make this task easier, but the wards of Bruno Genesio relied on the standards. And, in the end, the corner that Burigot gave led to the debut goal of Christopher Wu in the Red-Blacks.
Rennes then failed to extend the lead, but displayed professional composure to keep the winning score despite some chances at Steve Mandanda's net," the newspaper concludes.
