Show.— OptaJean (@OptaJean) PSG in their dark kits and Reims in their traditional red and white kits. Alexis Flips dishes it to Folarin Balogun on the run and his volley is tipped by Gigi Donnarumma over the bar. He poked the ball on goal from close range but the PSG 'keeper was up to the challenge. Then in the back, the Reims defenders have anticipated, tackled and cleared well. Arber Zeneli and Kamory Doumbia are in for Marshall Munetsi and Alexis Flips and they're expected to give some new ideas to the Reims attack. On the last kick of the game, Reims intercept a misplaced PSG pass, and Folarin Balogun was put through on goal. Buzzer.— OptaJean (@OptaJean) Born in Belgium to English parents, Stade de Reims manager Will Still is only 30 years old, but he has his club on a 13-match unbeaten run in all competitions. And new boss Christophe Galtier seemed to have eradicated that bad habit until the start of 2023 which has seen PSG pick up two losses and a draw in their last four matches. But thing got problematic for PSG when second-half sub Marco Verratti, who was making his comeback from injury after missing four straight matches, was sent off for a studs-up tackle into the ankle of a Reims player. The defending Ligue 1 champions now have two losses and a draw in their last four league matches.

They sit 12th in the table and haven't lost in their last 11 league matches (13 overall in all competitions), shutting out PSG 0-0 in their most recent league showdown in October. But Stade de Reims won't be a pushover.

The news of Milan Škriniar joining PSG next summer would've drawn attention away from the fact that Le Parisiens have lost two of their last three Ligue 1 ...

They will then encounter Marseille away from home in the Coupe de France on 8 February. However, their current form is somewhat decent with an unbeaten run of 5 games, and they might look to make the most of PSG's vulnerability. Their next opponent is 12th-placed Reims who on another day would've been an easy win on paper, but the Champions' current form raises some doubt.

Lione Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe will hope to end Reims' 13-match unbeaten run as PSG resumes its pursuit of the Ligue 1 crown.

Marquinhos’ return to fitness is well-timed considering France center-back Presnel Kimpembe is a doubt for the home fixture. Redemption is on the menu for a Paris Saint-Germain side hoping to cook up a storm when it hosts Reims in the return to Ligue 1 action on Sunday evening. The reigning champion failed to beat Les Rouges et Blancs after visiting the Stade Auguste-Delaune II in October, when the two teams failed to find a breakthrough and settled for a share of the spoils.

Reims went toe-to-toe with the Ligue 1 leaders and, for the second time this season, come away with a point. Will Still remains unbeaten since taking charge ...

Did provide the through ball which led to Neymar’s goal, but was otherwise unable to link up with his attacking partners as we are accustomed to. Christophe Galtier’s men would avoid a penalty decision – the referee’s initial call for Marquinhos’ tackle in the box overturned by VAR over an offside position – but not before Marco Verratti was sent off just ten minutes into his return from injury for a dangerous challenge on Junya Ito. Will Still remains unbeaten since taking charge after setting up his side to attack the game adventurously, Folarin Balogun’s last-gasp equaliser sealing a draw after Neymar’s opener.
