21' Doumbia's shot hits the bar after Buffon's save

36' GOAL! Reims 1-0 PSG (A.R Baba)

BABA PUTS REIMS AHEAD!! 1-0!! The home side make the pressure pay as Baba finishes well from a tight angle.

It's an excellent move from Reims as Doumbia picks out Oudin in the final third. The striker threads the needle to release Baba in the left inside channel and the full-back fires the ball between the legs of Buffon to find the net.

56' GOAL! Reims 2-0 PSG (Cafaro)

CAFARO DOUBLES REIMS' LEAD!!!! 2-0!!!! Out of nowhere the home side double their advantage. 

Cafaro collects in space on the edge of the box and drives into the right inside channel. He fires a low strike across Buffon that the Italian gets a hand to, but he can only push the ball onto the post.

The ball strikes the inside of the post before rolling into the back of the net.

59' GOAL! Reims 2-1 PSG (Mbappe)

MBAPPE GETS ONE BACK!! 2-1!! PSG are back in the game as Mbappe converts from close range.

Di Maria crosses the ball to Cavani at the back post and the Uruguayan heads the ball across the face of goal.

Like all great strikers, the Frenchman is on hand two yards from goal to tap his strike into the net. The champions have responded.

94' GOAL! Reims 3-1 PSG (Chavarria)

CHAVARRIA SCORES!! 3-1 REIMS!!!! The home side end the season with a flourish. 

Baba clears the ball downfield into space and the PSG defence leave Chavarria all alone.

Buffon cannot get there ahead of the forward and he is able to round the keeper before sliding the ball into the back of the net.

Match Report

Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain ended the season on a disappointing note as they were beaten 3-1 at Reims on Friday.

PSG wrapped up the league title over a month ago, but a run of three wins in nine in all competitions – a stretch that included a Coupe de France final loss to Rennes – had put a slight dampener on their campaign even before they arrived at a raucous Stade Auguste-Delaune.

Reims were good value for their two-goal lead with strikes from Baba Rahman and Mathieu Cafaro either side of half-time, although Kylian Mbappe brought the visitors back into contention in the 59th minute.

But PSG mustered little more without the suspended Neymar and substitute Pablo Chavarria scored an opportunistic third in second-half stoppage time to compound their misery.
