(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Choi Song-ah = With Lionel Messi returning from recovery from the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) continued to lead the French professional soccer league with 13 matches undefeated.
PSG defeated Reims 4-0 in the 2021-2022 League 1 Round 22 home match held at Parc des Princes in Paris, France on the 24th (Korean time).
PSG has sprinted to the top (53 points) with an unbeaten streak (8 wins, 5 draws) in 13 matches in the League 1 regular league, including 2 consecutive wins. It is 11 points behind Nice (42 points), which is in second place with five consecutive wins.
PSG recorded only one loss (16 wins, 5 draws) this season.
Reims, on the other hand, was only in 14th place (24 points) after losing 4 matches (2 draws and 2 losses) including 2 losses in a row.

PSG took the lead with Marco Berrati’s opening goal in the 43rd minute of the first half, but in the 16th minute of the second half, ‘goal-scoring defender’ Sergio Ramos added a goal.
Ramos, who joined PSG this season but suffered an injury and played in the 4th League 1 match that day, shoved the ball blocked by the goalkeeper from a corner kick and reported the first goal in his PSG jersey.
Shortly thereafter, PSG began to solidify by replacing Angel Di Maria with Messi.
Messi, who returned to the team earlier this month after being quarantined after being diagnosed with COVID-19 while on vacation in Argentina during his year-end break, played for the first time in a month.
PSG, who fled with an own goal in the 21st minute of the second half, completely solidified their victory with Danilo Pereira’s wedge in the 29th minute of the second half.
