    Reims 0-1 PSG

    A real chance for Reims to equalise.

    Ilan Kebbal whips in a lovely cross which ends up in the gloves of Keylor Navas. El Bilal Toure was inches away from getting there before Navas. If he did it would have been a goal.

    Reims 0-1 PSG

    Abdou Diallo tests Keylor Navas with an overhit backpass, which the keeper deals with. For all PSG's dominance, they're only one slip away from being level.

    Reims 0-1 PSG

    Angel di Maria's free-kick hits the wall. Andreaw Gravillon blocks it with his face. He seems shaken but OK.

    Mauricio Pochettino has a chat with Kylian Mbappe on the touchline.

    The camera pans to Lionel Messi, who'd love to take this free-kick.

    Reims 0-1 PSG

    Reims are very relaxed around the back. They've given the ball away a few times.

    Kylian Mbappe has a shot blocked.

    Neymar is fouled again, free-kick to PSG.

    Reims 0-1 PSG

    Angel di Maria finds Neymar, who drifts inside and then has a shot blocked. Good defending.

    PSG have had 64% of the ball. It feels like more.

    Reims 0-1 PSG

    Lightning pace from Kylian Mbappe - absolutely unreal as he glides away - but he overruns it and Reims keeper Predrag Rajkovic gathers.

    I wonder when/if Lionel Messi will come off the bench.

    Reims 0-1 PSG

    Georginio Wijnaldum gets the ball in the box and takes far too long to make a decision. His shot is blocked - with three of the best attackers in the world all available for a pass.

    It's all PSG really. Neymar with some party tricks.

    Reims 0-1 PSG

    That is Kylian Mbappe's 134th goal in 175 games for PSG. Will there be any more?

    Kylian Mbappe

    PSG take the lead. Angel di Maria whips in a beautiful right-wing cross and Kylian Mbappe ghosts in between two defenders to send a bullet header past the keeper.

    Reims 0-0 PSG

    A lovely move from Reims as Ilan Kebbal finds El Bilal Toure with a lovely reserve ball. Marquinhos slides in and Toure lashes his shot into the side-netting. A poor finish really.

    Reims 0-0 PSG

    Almost brilliant from Kylian Mbappe, he takes the ball with his heel, swivels and shoots into the side-netting.

    That came after Reims tried to play their way out of defence. If I was a Reims defender around some of these attackers, I'd be wanting to get the ball as far away as possible.

    Prince Gyimah: Messi will score at least 40 goals in all competitions.

    Reims 0-0 PSG

    Ambitious from Reims striker El Bilal Toure, who sees Keylor Navas off his line, and tries to lob him from the edge of the box when the ball is bouncing.

    Good idea, poor execution and it's well wide.

    Chop. Idrissa Gueye of PSG hacks down a Reims player and is lucky to avoid a yellow.
