Halftime: Impressive performance from the visitors who are not intimidated in the least. A shot by Messi was deflected right to Neymar who was patient before lofting it into the goal. It's a late, studs-up tackle on Junya Ito's ankle on the play that led to the penalty.

Folarin Balogun scored in the dying seconds as Reims came from behind to claim a draw at Paris Saint-Germain.
The referee points to the spot after Marquinhos clips the heels of Balogun inside the box, but VAR intervenes and determines that the Reims forward was in an offside position. But wait, VAR is taking a long look at Verratti's challenge and now the referee is going over to the pitch-side monitor to have another look.

Reims thought they had won a penalty when Marquinhos clipped Balogun inside the box, but VAR intervened and determined that the forward was in an offside position. They broke the deadlock with their first shot on target, Neymar rounding the goalkeeper and slotting into an empty net after Lionel Messi’s deflected shot fell kindly to him.
Folarin Balogun's late equalizer denied Paris Saint-Germain the win and kept Stade de Reims' impressive 14-game unbeaten run going on Sunday in a 1-1 draw.
For PSG, it was another worrying display from a team that has not looked or seemed right since the FIFA 2022 World Cup in Qatar which disrupted an unbeaten start to the season. "I paid attention to all of the details, I saw Donnarumma coming off of his line, and I saw it was easier to take the ball around him. After the game, I told the players that it was good to take a point, but that it will be useless if we do not beat Lorient." "There was a team on the field and it was a team that was ready, proud, and unafraid of playing here at Parc des Princes. After the red, we had to adapt and start to push. It was no less than deserved for Reims, who played some superb stuff at Parc des Princes and out-shot PSG in the first half but were unable to get the goal their enterprise merited at 11 vs.

Arber Zeneli and Kamory Doumbia are in for Marshall Munetsi and Alexis Flips and they're expected to give some new ideas to the Reims attack. On the last kick of the game, Reims intercept a misplaced PSG pass, and Folarin Balogun was put through on goal. Buzzer.— OptaJean (@OptaJean) Born in Belgium to English parents, Stade de Reims manager Will Still is only 30 years old, but he has his club on a 13-match unbeaten run in all competitions. And new boss Christophe Galtier seemed to have eradicated that bad habit until the start of 2023 which has seen PSG pick up two losses and a draw in their last four matches. But thing got problematic for PSG when second-half sub Marco Verratti, who was making his comeback from injury after missing four straight matches, was sent off for a studs-up tackle into the ankle of a Reims player. The defending Ligue 1 champions now have two losses and a draw in their last four league matches.

The news of Milan Škriniar joining PSG next summer would've drawn attention away from the fact that Le Parisiens have lost two of their last three Ligue 1 ...
They will then encounter Marseille away from home in the Coupe de France on 8 February. However, their current form is somewhat decent with an unbeaten run of 5 games, and they might look to make the most of PSG's vulnerability. Their next opponent is 12th-placed Reims who on another day would've been an easy win on paper, but the Champions' current form raises some doubt.
