The Rémois had come to play, they sometimes bothered PSG, but their goodwill did not resist Parisian accuracy, Sunday January 23, at the Parc des Princes, during the 22nd day of Ligue 1. PSG was imposed 4-0, thanks to a double from Marco Verratti and a goal from Sergio Ramos, the Spaniard’s first in Parisian colours, before Danilo Pereira completed the success of the capital club.
The odds for Marco Verratti’s brace must have been damn high before the game, and the Italian himself looked surprised to open the scoring and then score the 3-0 goal on Sunday. Often mocked for not trying his luck enough, the “Little Owl” shook the net for the first time since May 2017 and scored the first double of his career.
While Reims had been putting pressure on PSG so far in the first half, with high pressing but without realizing their chances, it was he who punished the Reims for their lack of efficiency, allowing the Parisians to take the advantage. just before the break.
