Paris Saint-Germain scored their 4,000th competitive goal as they eased into the final of the Coupe de la Ligue with a 3-0 win over Reims.
Match Report
PSG had things far easier from the off thanks to Marquinhos' early header.
Ghislain Konan's own goal doubled PSG's tally, with Marshall Munetsi's red card reducing Reims to 10 men before substitute Nianzou Kouassi bundled in the capital club's landmark competitive goal to wrap up the win in style.
Match Events
9' GOAL! Reims 0-1 PSG (Marquinhos)
Neymar pretty much failed to beat the first man from PSG's first three corners, but he goes deep from this fourth one and Marquinhos gets on the end of it. The visiting skipper outjumps Munetsi and sends a header past Rajkovic.
20' Dia's shot wide out
Neymar pretty much failed to beat the first man from PSG's first three corners, but he goes deep from this fourth one and Marquinhos gets on the end of it. The visiting skipper outjumps Munetsi and sends a header past Rajkovic.
31' OWN GOAL! Reims 0-2 PSG (Konan)
Neymar whips in a free-kick from the left and, under pressure from Marquinhos, Disasi flicks the ball towards his own net. Konan is stationed on the back post and gets the final touch.
35' Neymar's free kick stopped by Rajkovic
Doumbia fouls Neymar and PSG have a free-kick in shooting range. Neymar positions himself as though he is going to instead cross it, but he tries to catch out Rajkovic by bending the ball around the wall. The Reims keeper makes the save but spills the ball and is thankful to see it eventually cleared.
55' Herrera handball overlooked by ref
PSG had a penalty shout rejected in the first half and it is Reims' turn to be left upset by the referee's decision making. The ball ricochets off Marquinhos and clearly hits Herrera on the arm inside the box.
73' Red Card! Munetsi sent off
Munetsi catches Verratti from behind and is shown a red card. It was far from malicious so that, on the face of it, appears to be a harsh decision.
77' GOAL! Reims 0-3 PSG (Kouassi)
Paredes' impressive volley from outside the box is pushed onto the post by Rajkovic and substitute Kouassi is quickest to react for a simple finish.

Since Neymar returned from injury he doesn't want to stop scoring or assisting in any match.

Neymar : Should we get one goal for lineman for being our fan. Mbappe: I think I have an idea, how about we leave him to take a corner .
