We will have to wait a little longer to see a defeat for Paris Saint-Germain this season. Luis Enrique’s team had to work hard to avoid leaving Reims (1-1) with a setback on Saturday, September 21. The evening started very badly with an early goal from the Champenois, scored by Keito Nakamura (9th), more skillful than Marquinhos on a cross from his compatriot Junya Ito.
Blocked by a well-positioned opponent who was extremely dangerous in projection, the Parisians seemed without a solution for a long time. A savior finally showed up, in this case Ousmane Dembélé. Coming into play in the 65th minute, he took less than four minutes to equalize, opportunistic at the far post after a powerful cross from Joao Neves (69th). A great response three days after his criticized performance against Girona in the Champions League.
Collectively, PSG has very little reason to be satisfied. After a particularly attractive start, the capital club is experiencing its first setback. Above all, it leaves its rival Marseille the opportunity to get back up to par at the top of Ligue 1, in the event of a Marseille victory in Lyon on Sunday (8:45 p.m.). Monaco, who also host Le Havre on Sunday (3 p.m.), can also join the French champions at the top.
