Paris was too strong, and there is not much to complain about. Facing PSG at the end of the 22nd day of Ligue 1. In a Parc des Princes which sounded hollow due to the limitation to 5,000 spectators, the Rémois quickly came under pressure from a serious and invested Parisian team. This was without taking into account the commitment and solidarity of concentrated Rémois. And if Kylian Mbappé often made the difference in speed, Predrag Rajkovic remained rather serene on his line. It was enough for the Rémois to be emboldened. Uncompromising in the middle Azor Matusiwa offered an interesting volume in midfield and Maxime Busi and Thomas Foket more and more uncovered on the wings.
What to offer Bradley Locko then Hugo Ekiike the opportunity to worry Kaylor Navas. But the attempts are not sharp enough to imagine an opener. And while the Rémois thought to hold the Parisians at the break, Andrew Gravel countered Mauro Icardi at the entrance to the area. Marco Verratti inherits the ball and sends a shot that deceives the Champagne goalkeeper. Led at the break, the Marnais will not recover. And the changes made by Oscar Garcia won’t change anything. Worse. Dion Lopy struggling to find the rhythm within a Parisian environment in mastery. Launched, the Parisian machine will torture the Reims defense several times, until adding three additional goals. Heavy, but not outrageous. Whatever, the Stade de Reims will be especially expected in the next four meetings.
