After a disappointing 1-1 draw in Lisbon, Paris Saint-Germain suffered their next setback in the league. Against Kellerkind Reims only a zero was enough, moreover Sergio Ramos was sent off.

PSG manager Christophe Galtier has ordered some of his players to rest after the 1-1 draw against Benfica. Hakimi, Vitinha, Nuno Mendes, Neymar and Messi distinguished themselves by their absence from the owner XI, where Mukiele, Fabian, Juan Bernat, Sarabia and Soler were new.
Mbappé was the only front row entertainer – and in this role he was visibly difficult against a Reims who was deep, moved well, had a good grip in duels and therefore kept damage out of his own area.
However, it was basically a goal scored by the Stade Diouf goalkeeper, who was unemployed for a long time and was really challenged only after 33 minutes. Then he parried hard against Mbappé, who had shot from a sharp corner. It should remain the only significant possibility in half one. PSG could not be satisfied with their performance, the favorite was too pomadig, too banal and too passive.

Then Sergio Ramos exaggerated with his protest against a yellow card and was immediately sent off with a red card by the referee Pierre Gaillouste (41 minutes). It was the Spaniard’s 21st expulsion in La Liga or Ligue 1, seven more than any other defender in the top five leagues ever seen in the 21st century.
It didn’t get much better after the change of sides, but the Parisians were more concerned about safety because they were outnumbered. The result was a quiet game, but only occasional: Zeneli put Donnarumma to the test (52 ‘), while on the other side the substitute Neymar pushed just beyond the left (67’).
In the final round, Reims still have slight power problems and PSG have taken the lead a bit as a result, but the 0-0 has not yet been shaken.
