Paris Saint-Germain faced a difficult match in Ligue 1, where, despite showing an offensive game and dominating possession, they could only draw 1-1 against Reims.

This result, marked by the outstanding performance of goalkeeper Yehvann Diouf, left a bitter taste for the Parisians, who must now focus on their next commitment for the UEFA Champions League.

The match marked the debut of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who left a good impression by assisting in PSG’s goal.

The Georgian footballer showed flashes of quality and his ability to generate danger, but he still lacks the pace to reach his maximum level.

PSG’s player scores according to L’Équipe

The prestigious French newspaper L’Équipe published PSG’s scores after the 1-1 draw against Reims, highlighting the following:

  • Gianluigi Donnarumma: 5/10 points
  • Warren Zaïre-Emery: 4/10 points
  • Lucas Beraldo: 5/10 points
  • Lucas Hernández: 5/10 points
  • Nuno Mendes: 4/10 points
  • Fabián Ruiz: 5/10 points
  • Desire Doue: 6/10 points
  • Kang In Lee: 5/10 points
  • Ousmane Dembe: 6/10 points
  • Goncalo Ramos: 3/10 points
  • Khvicha Kvaratskhelia: 5/10 points

These scores reflect the frustration of a match in which, despite the good collective performance, PSG failed to impose its superiority on the scoreboard.

The scores reflect that there are players who are not decisive and do not fit into the collective game system in the best way.

This was unfortunately the case of Goncalo Ramos vs Reims, where this questions whether playing without a reference centre forward is more positive than with one.

Even coach Luis Enrique received a low rating (4 points out of 10), pointing out that, although his approach was ambitious, this could have resulted in a victory, if not in a bitter draw.


PSG confident of securing their qualification for the UEFA Champions League

PSG is already turning the page on this draw in Ligue 1 and is turning its attention to the match on January 29 against Stuttgart in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League.

With qualification practically assured, this match will be key to strengthening the team’s spirit and regaining confidence after this bittersweet result in the local competition.
