Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe had not been in a starting XI together in Ligue 1 since the World Cup. The French club announced it on Twitter before the start of the match against Reims.

The three Paris Saint-Germain players had not been together at the start of a match since before the World Cup, with the exception of the friendly against Riyadh Season in Saudi Arabia.

This is the first time they all figure a full meeting from the start in Ligue 1 in two months. Galtier's trio is a key formation to their success and the manager wants to see them back in action against Reims.

Achraf Hakimi is also in the starting eleven along with Sergio Ramos, Vitinha, Marquinhos, Donnarumma, Bernat, Fabian and Soler.

PSG will be looking for the three points to stay at the top of the French table while Reims are 12th and want to continue their progress in Ligue 1.
