#3 Rai

PSG signed Rai for €5 million from Sao Paulo in the summer of 1993. Hailed as one of the most iconic figures in the club's history, the Brazilian was one of the best attacking-midfielders of his generation.

He pulled strings from the middle of the park, had a knack for providing defense-piercing passes, and rarely lost his cool.

He first wore the No.10 jersey in the 1994-95 season, after bouncing back from a disappointing debut season. Under Luis Fernandez, Brazilian great Socrates’ brother finally found his footing.

He helped PSG to memorable victories over Bayern Munich and Barcelona, guiding them to the semi-finals of the Champions League. He served the club diligently for five seasons before returning to Sao Paulo to see off his career.

His exploits in the red and blue shirt helped the club to domestic cup doubles (1994-95 & 1997-98), one Ligue 1 title, and a Europapokal.


#2 Neymar

PSG’s current no.10, Neymar, is one of the best players to ever play for the French club. Signed for an earth-shattering €222 million from Barcelona in the summer of 2017, the Brazilian holds the record for being the most expensive footballer in history.

Neymar is yet to guide Paris Saint-Germain to a Champions League title, but he has surely made them favorites in the competition. With the 29-year-old leading the line, the Parisians played their first Champions League final in the 2019-20 season against Bayern Munich.

Known for his trickery, extraordinary dribbling skills, and a knack for the spectacular, the left-winger always keeps the fans on the edge of their seats. He has missed more than his fair share of matches due to injuries but rarely misses his mark when fit.

Since his record-breaking switch from Barcelona, Neymar has featured in 130 games for PSG, adding 90 goals and 55 assists to his name. His performances have led the club to three Ligue 1 titles, three French Cups and two French League Cups in the last four seasons.


#1 Zlatan Ibrahimovic

Having won domestic titles in Italy and Spain, Zlatan Ibrahimovic moved to Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain from AC Milan in the summer of 2012. Lauded as one of the best strikers in the world, the Sweden international had a sky-high reputation to live up to in France.

The Swedish striker quickly settled in at PSG, emerging as their undisputed star.

Wearing the famous No.10 jersey, Ibrahimovic dominated Ligue 1 like there was no tomorrow. He used his physicality well to bring the opposition defenders to their knees and was always on the lookout for audacious, eye-catching goals.

Between 2012 and 2016, the striker played 180 games for PSG, registering 156 goals and 61 assists. His exploits in front of goal helped the club to four consecutive Ligue 1 titles, two French Cups and three French League Cups.
