#3 Ronaldinho
An artist in the truest sense, Ronaldinho spent his developing years at PSG. The Brazilian's early years in the French capital are underappreciated but he still wove his magic on the pitch.
Ronaldinho was a dead ball specialist, his free-kicks being on a different level than others. The Brazilian maestro was extremely unpredictable from set-pieces as he knew how to bend the ball either way. His curlers were something close to perfection, finding the net more often than not.
One of Ronaldinho's specialties was to hit free-kicks below the wall, leaving fans and rivals speechless. Even from less dangerous areas, the Brazilian's indirect free-kicks caused ample trouble to opponent's defense.
There are only a few who can match the brilliance of Ronaldinho when it comes to set-pieces. The smiling genius also showed his majestic talent during his time at PSG, scoring 25 goals and providing 17 assists in 77 appearances.
#2 Neymar
Neymar has racked up a whopping 88 goals and 54 assists so far for PSG. Despite being injury prone since his arrival in France, the Brazilian has been pivotal to Les Parisiens' rise in Europe.
Neymar's qualities are well known due to his exploits during his tenure at Barcelona. The 29-year-old shared his set-piece duties with Lionel Messi at the Nou Camp but has been the sole set-piece taker in Paris.
For PSG, Neymar has been immaculate with his free-kicks and corners. His crosses from corners and free-kicks remain effective and the player has scored some screamers from range.
There is little doubt about Neymar's ability from set-pieces, which has only increased with age and experience.
#1 Lionel Messi
When we talk about any offensive trait, it is hard not to keep Lionel Messi on the list. One of the greatest footballers of all time, Messi is in a league of his own when it comes to set-pieces. The Argentine magician remains one of the highest active free-kick scorers in world football.
Messi has gifted the audience with numerous brilliant free-kicks for Barcelona and Argentina over the years. With a left foot comparable to Diego Maradona's, Messi manages to hit free-kicks with perfect curl to beat goalkeepers. More often than not, the goalkeeper and the wall are helpless against Messi's free-kicks due to it's precision.
Messi joined PSG from Barcelona on a free transfer in the summer transfer window. While the move shocked many Barca faithful at the Nou Camp, PSG fans were delighted with his arrival. Messi is yet to score any free-kicks for PSG but he will surely get one in the near future.
