Best players in PSG's history

PSG is a fairly young club, founded in 1970, and this year it is only 53 years old. But this has not prevented them from becoming one of the most important teams in Ligue 1, and also in the whole world.

Great players have played for this team and have been the guarantors of the club’s success. The number of titles that PSG has won makes it one of the teams with the largest number of fans, which is why PSG’s fan tokens are very high on the list of the most popular.

So, if you want to learn more about one of the most outstanding teams in the whole world, I recommend you to continue reading, as we will talk about the best players in PSG’s history.

Neymar Jr

Neymar Jr is almost synonymous with success. He has shown great quality in the different teams he has been in, and since 2017 he has been part of the PSG squad. An interesting fact is that this became one of the most expensive signings in history by costing 222 million euros, setting an unparalleled precedent.

Since his arrival, Neymar has been part of the official 11 in a large number of matches. In total, he has played 173 matches and scored 118 goals. Although we cannot deny that his performance could have been better, some injuries have kept him off the field, but every time he plays he shows why he cost 222 million.

Angel Di Maria

Different Argentine stars have played for PSG, and Ángel Di María is undoubtedly one of the best. He became a key element in the team’s matches for 11 years, breaking a record by being the player with the most assists in the team, accumulating a total of 119.

As for his statistics, he played 295 matches in which he scored 93 goals. He also played a key role in 18 titles, including 6 League titles, 4 Coupe de France titles, 4 Coupe Ligue titles and 5 Trophée des Champions titles.

Lionel Messi

And if we continue talking about Argentines who have made history, Lionel Messi is undoubtedly a player who should be on the list of PSG’s best. This was a really surprising signing, because Messi had been with Barcelona for quite some time, and it seemed that nobody could get him out of LaLiga, but PSG did it.

It was in 2021 when the signing of Messi, who is considered the best player in the world, was finalized. Among his triumphs are more than 35 titles, including the most recent World Cup. But if we talk about achievements at PSG, he scored 35 goals in 74 games with 35 assists. And although he is no longer a PSG player, he is and will be part of the club’s success story.

Kylian Mbappé

Kylian Mbappé is one of the most important young players in the world. He made his debut in 2015 at Monaco, and from that moment he got the eyes of the whole world on him. It only took him 2 years to make the big breakthrough, because in 2017 PSG signed him on loan, then finalized his stay a year later.

In 2018, he was an important part of the World Cup in Russia, where he helped his team lift the prized World Cup. In addition, he has managed to win 4 times the Ligue 1, 3 times the Coupe de France.

Right now he is the top scorer in the history of PSG, having accumulated 212 goals. And although it seems that his time at PSG is over, he has undoubtedly made history.

Zlatan Ibrahimović

For a time, Zlatan was one of the team’s most important players. His quality on the field and ability to take on opponents made him stand out and is what helped him become one of the almost permanent players in the team’s 11.

In total, Zlatan played 180 games and scored 156 goals, making him PSG’s third all-time leading scorer. This, coupled with 61 assists, makes him a star who will always shine in the club’s history.

And after so many goals, his presence had to be fundamental to PSG’s triumphs. In total, he won 12 titles, four of which were in the league, two in the Coupe de France, three in the Coupe de la Ligue and three in the Trophée des Champions.

Edinson Cavani

During Cavani’s time at PSG, he was always a recurring player in the official eleven. He was a key player. Edison Cavani played 301 games, scoring 200 goals, which gave him second place as PSG’s all-time top scorer. And as if that wasn’t enough, he won 22 titles with the club.

Among the 22 titles won are 6 League titles, 4 Coupe de France titles, 5 Coupe de la Ligue titles, and 8 Trophée des Champions titles. Thus becoming one of the most important stars of PSG from 2013 to 2020, and for eternity.

Raí

Raí, or also known as Raimundo Souza Vieira de Oliveira was at PSG from 1993 to 1998 and during these years he achieved success after success. In total, he played 215 games, scoring 72 goals and had 7 assists. In addition, he accumulated 7 titles which are 1 European Cup Winners’ Cup, 1 League title, 2 Coupe de France, two Coupe de Ligue and 1 Trophée des Champions.

Thiago Silva

Thiago Silva managed to become one of PSG’s best players because he showed quality on the field, but he also won the hearts of the fans. In his 8 years at PSG he was a great leader, playing 315 games in which he scored 17 goals and got 7 assists.

During these years, he won 26 titles, including 7 League titles, 5 Coupe de France, 6 Coupe de la Ligue and 7 Trophée des Champions.
