PSG cannot with Reims and Ramos sees the red

PSG could not go from a goalless draw in their visit to the Reims field in a hot game, with controversy and that was marked by the expulsion of Sergio Ramos in the first half. The camero answered the referee after seeing the yellow card in the first instance and ended up being sent off directly. The tie leaves PSG in the lead, who did not take advantage of Marseille’s defeat against Ajaccioalthough he will arrive at the Classic next week with three points of rent with respect to his main rival.

Except Sergio Ricowho is the third goalkeeper and has no minutes, Galtier lined up all the Spaniards from PSG: Sergio Ramos and Bernat in defense; Fabián Ruiz in midfield and Carlos Soler in midfield. The Valencian, after a complicated start to the season due to a lack of adaptation, played for the first time as a starter under the colors of his new team.

If the PSG night seemed, a priori, calm, an unexpected event related to Sergio Ramos completely changed the match. The camero, who was suffering with Zeneli in the first half, He protested a foul by Verratti in the 40th minute and the referee showed him the yellow card in the first instance. After continuing to protest him, the referee gave him a direct red card. and the center-back went, surprised, to the locker room tunnel. According to Canal Plus France, the Spanish international would have said “la puta madre” in the midst of the protests, the arbitral judge believing that he was insulting him.

Of the rest of the 40 minutes before the red card to the former Real Madrid player, it is worth highlighting a chance from Mbappé that Diouf repelled brilliantly and a shot from Fabián that the goalkeeper also saved with an extraordinary hand. PSG was a flat team, slow and without the ability to generate danger against a Reims team that gradually believed that it could compete with the Ligue 1 champion, having a very clear opportunity in Balogun’s boots, but an immersed Donnarumma avoided Óscar García’s 1-0.

To the Rheims, despite a chance from Zeneli as soon as the second half started, the red did not suit him. The Remois are a team that are used to defending for a long time and having to take the initiative only generated haste and nerves in each local attack. PSG, with the entry of Neymar, grew, something that was to be expected given the enormous quality of its squad. The Brazilian incomprehensibly missed a one-on-one against the goalkeeper after a good pass from Mbappe and put fear in the body of the Reims players.

The final minutes became a constant back and forth in which either team could win the game. The lack of quality in the final meters weighed down the Rheims, unable to prevail with numerical superiority and ending the game unhinged for having missed a great opportunity to beat an indomitable giant in France. PSG did not know how to take advantage of Marseille’s defeat against bottom team Ajaccio, although they will arrive at the Clásico next Sunday with a three-point advantage over their greatest rival.
