It was an electric evening at Parc des Princes Wednesday, like PSG beat Manchester City 4-2 To put them on the brink of reaching the Champions League -knockout scenes.
A ninth equal victory in all competitions that started with an important success over Red Bull Salzburg on Matchday Six means that PSG now needs just one point against Stuttgart next week to make sure their progression is sure.
Despite the fact that he went 2-0 down early in the second half, the Paris fought back with Joao Neves scored the goal that ended the turn, and Goncalo Ramos Netting of a late clinic.
Currently, the focus is switching back to domestic affairs, and it seems only a matter of time from this time before PSG Seal another Ligue 1 title.
After coming from behind to beat Linse last weekend, then PSG then Marseille Drop Points at home to Strasbourg, which means their lead at the top stretched out to nine points.
Still undefeated this season after 18 games, PSG has taken 46 points from a possible 54 and is now in an almost unavailable position at the summit.
Since the start of last season, PSG has only lost two league matches, with only Bayer Leverkusen and Galatasaray, suffering as few defeats in Europe’s top-10 leagues during that time.
However, Reims could offer a threat to this record as they have left the Parc des Princes with a point in both last two seasons.
PSG has not gone three straight home matches against a single opponent without a win since a race against Bordeaux between 2010 and 2012, illustrating how impressive Reims’ recent form has been here.

But this season, the reds and whites have found the walking tough as they are currently in the middle of a seven -game winless race -the longest of any club in Ligue 1.
It’s been almost four years since Reims went on a winless line as long as this, and their last three results are especially cause for concern.
Defeat against Saint-Etienne and Nice Saw Reim’s ship seven goals before drawing at home to the most out of shape in Ligue 1, Le Havre, last weekend.
Outdoor form is also a concern, considering that they have only taken four points from their last five games and lost three, which is as many as they had suffered in the previous 11.
This form has viewed Luka Elsner‘s side falls to the 13th, only four points over the fall, and if they are to expand their excellent run at Parc des Princes, they will have to be clinical in attack because PSG has scored in 25 equal Ligue 1 games.
