Kylian Mbappe: Frenchman Benched Again as PSG Drop Points

• Kylian Mbappe was once again benched by Luis Enrique
• Mbappe has been withdrawn twice in recent games
• The Frenchman has decided not to renew his PSG contract

Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique defended his stuttering team after they were held 2-2 by Reims in Ligue 1 on Sunday, a third straight domestic draw which still allowed the reigning champions to go 10 points clear at the top of the table.

Kylian Mbappe was rested at kick-off after scoring both goals in PSG's 2-1 midweek win at Real Sociedad which saw them qualify for the Champions League quarter-finals 4-1 on aggregate.

Without him, PSG fell behind to a Marshall Munetsi goal following an error by Achraf Hakimi.

They hit back and found themselves ahead thanks to a Yunis Abdelhamid own goal and a Goncalo Ramos strike, but Oumar Diakite's goal for Reims ensured a share of the spoils.

Paris fell behind in the seventh minute when Hakimi was dispossessed inside his own box, allowing Diakite to set up Zimbabwe international Munetsi to score.

However, PSG drew level in the 17th minute. Reims captain Abdelhamid scored an unfortunate own goal as he turned Hakimi's corner into the net under pressure from Ramos.

Portugal striker Ramos then put PSG ahead two minutes later with his ninth goal of the season, finding the net with a deflected shot after the Reims defence had failed to deal with a Lee Kang-in cross.

Yet Will Still's Reims, who sit in mid-table, came back to equalise on the stroke of half-time when Emmanuel Agbadou picked out Diakite with a superb defence-splitting pass, and the young Ivory Coast striker beat PSG's stand-in goalkeeper Keylor Navas with a clinical finish.

The experiment includes multiple camera perspectives of the virtual race, including the point of view of the French star - who is immediately overtaken by Bolt.

One major point of the 3D simulation is to capture the essence of the two athletes’ attributes and bringing them to life.
