PSG’s recent performance and reflections

Just days following their impressive victory over Manchester City with a score of 4-2 in the Champions League, Paris Saint-Germain faced a tough challenge, resulting in a 1-1 draw against Reims in Ligue 1. Lucas Hernandez described the outcome as fair, acknowledging the strong defensive performance by Reims: “It wasn’t an easy match, they played well. Defensively, they did a good job. We lacked depth and width. The draw is deserved,” shared the French defender with DAZN.

Team adjustments and standing in the league

Entering their second match of the week, PSG fielded a slightly altered starting lineup. Despite the dropped points, the reigning three-time French champions, who lead the league with a ten-point advantage over their closest rivals Olympique de Marseille, maintain their unbeaten streak in the championship.

Preparations for the Stuttgart showdown

PSG is now set to face VFB Stuttgart in the 8th round of the Champions League group stage on Wednesday. This match is crucial for Hernandez and his teammates, currently ranked 22nd this season, as they aim to secure their spot in the round of 16.
