Without further ado, here is a look at the
5 best players for PSG against Reims in Ligue 1 game week 4
#5 Keylor Navas
Standing between the sticks for PSG, the former Real Madrid shot-stopper did his best to grab a clean sheet. Though PSG dominated the game and were evidently going to bag the three points, it was Keylor Navas's fine performance that handed them a clean sheet.
The Costa Rican had his eyes open throughout the 90 minutes and parried away a couple of shots that penetrated through PSG's last line of defense.
Just minutes before the half-time, Reims forward Ilan Kebbal sent one firing into PSG's goalpost, however Keylor Navas exhibited supreme composure to grab it between his gloves comfortably.
He was also called into action by Van Bergen with an effort from a tight angle. However, the PSG number 1 came to the rescue once again.
#4 Idrissa Gana Gueye
Placed at the heart of Mauricio Pochettino's 4-3-3 setup, the Senegalese midfielder aced his position during the entirety of the game. Majorly taking up the role of defensive midfielder, the former Everton man aided his team up front with constant ball distributions.
He also played an important role in the counterattack that led to Kylian Mbappe's second goal. From running into the opposition's box to cutting them out in his own half, Idrissa Gana Gueye certainly made life difficult for the Reims players.
He even had two shots fired towards the target, only to be blocked by Reims defense.
