Paris Saint-Germain 2-2 Stade de Reims: Parisiens held to entertaining draw at home as Mbappe makes appearance off the bench

Reims held Ligue 1 leaders Paris St Germain to a 2-2 home draw on Sunday after manager Luis Enrique benched top scorer Kylian Mbappe, who played only the final 20 minutes.

PSG extended their Ligue 1 unbeaten streak to 20 games, but it was the defending champions' third consecutive draw after Reims impressed despite an own goal.

With both teams picking up a point, PSG increased their lead over second-placed Brest to ten points, while Reims are ninth with 35 points.

"I can only wish Kylian Mbappe the best, the best things for the future," a smiling Luis Enrique said in a post-match interview, as the manager avoided questions about the club's all-time leading scorer.

France captain Mbappe has regularly played 90 minutes this season, but he has yet to play a full match for PSG since informing the club last month that he would leave as a free agent at the end of the season.

"He is a very good player but even more a good person, and I wish him only the best of the best," added Luis Enrique.

Reims stunned the league leaders by taking the lead in the seventh minute, quieting the fans at the Parc des Princes, thanks to an error by PSG's Achraf Hakimi.

The Morocco international hesitated in the box before Oumar Diakite stole the ball from the full back near the goal line and set up Marshall Munetsi for a simple tap-in.

However, PSG quickly re-energized the home crowd via an own goal when defender Yunis Abdelhamid diverted a corner kick into his own net.

Two minutes later, Goncalo Ramos put PSG ahead when Lee Kang-in's floated ball into the box was not cleared and fell kindly to the Portuguese forward, who fired home to make it 2-1.

However, Reims tied the game 2-2 when Diakite took advantage of PSG's high line and beat the offside trap to latch on to Emmanuel Agbadou's superb pass and guide his shot past Keylor Navas in goal.

Enrique brought on Mbappe and Ousmane Dembele, who leads the league in assists with seven, in the 73rd minute as PSG sought a winner.

Mbappe, who has 21 league goals this season and scored twice four days ago in their Champions League victory over Real Sociedad, had a few shots on goal and even attempted an acrobatic bicycle kick late in the game.

However, his late introduction had no effect on the scoreline, as Reims held on for a valuable point.
