PSG dropped points for the second time in Ligue 1 this season with a disappointing tie away to Reims, who currently sits 14th in the league summit.
Christophe Galtier’s side were almost fortunate to come away with a point as Reims had a total of 24 shots but couldn’t find a way past Gianluigi Donnarumma who was superb on the night.
PSG suffered another blow as defender Sergio Ramos was shown a straight red for protesting against the referee in the 41st minute.

The defending champions were also not helped by the fact that Lionel Messi missed the game through injury.
The Argentine has netted four times and created seven assists in the league so far this season as the Parisians have always looked better with his presence.
Meanwhile, Neymar was left on the substitute bench until the 57th minute, but even he couldn't help his team find the winner.

And that, apparently, was the reason behind a ‘controversial’ Instagram post after the match.
He has recently said he prefers to play alongside a number 9, like Olivier Giroud, than play as a striker.
The 23-year-old superstar managed just one shot on target in the match, and completed just one out of six dribbles as well as a total of 35 touches during the 90 minutes he was on the pitch.
