Ligue 1 HIGHLIGHTS Reims 0-2 PSG: Messi makes his PSG debut; Mbappe brace wins the game for PSG

The Hindu  

Hello and welcome to Sportstar's live blog of the Reims vs Paris Saint-Germain match being played at Stade Auguste-Delaune II stadium in Reims, France. MATCH REPORT: Messi makes Ligue 1 debut as Mbappe shines for PSG Kylian Mbappe scored another goal in the 63rd minute to secure a win for PSG but it was Lionel Messi's debut that is the main talking point of the match as the six-time Ballon D'Or winner started a new chapter in his footballing career with the Parisian club. PSG has posed majority of the attacking threat in the first half but Reims has had its chances as well, with it coming closest as Cassama's shot hit the crossbar. Mbappe's goal keeps PSG ahead at the break but Reims' defence has done a decent job of restricting PSG to just one goal.
