#3 Ander Herrera - 3 goals
Little would Ander Herrera have known that Lionel Messi would one day be his teammate. The former Manchester United midfielder moved to PSG as a free agent in 2019. While Herrera hasn't had a shortage of minutes at PSG, many feel that he has lost the senior role he once enjoyed at Manchester United.
However, Herrera is a tenacious midfielder who offers the necessary protection to PSG's front three. While Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe may be the more illustrious names, Herrera has been no less effective.
It's no surprise that Herrera has made 17 appearances in the league all season. While his primary role is to keep the midfield and the ball rolling, Herrera has scored one more league goal than Lionel Messi, with the last one coming as part of a brace against Clermont Foot.
#2 Fred - 3 goals
Despite his recent performance improvements, Fred is not a fan favorite at Old Trafford. An acquisition from Shakhtar Donetsk, Fred hasn't been able to justify the price Manchester United paid for him. While Fred displays his passing abilities at times, he is equally error-prone.
However, the lack of other options has meant that Fred has continued to receive the minutes. Ralf Rangnick has entrusted Fred several times, and he has been better under the German than he was under Ole Gunnar Solsjkaer. Interestingly enough, he has already scored more under the new manager than he did under Solskjaer.
Fred's banger against Leeds United was his third league goal this season. While there can be no comparison between him and Lionel Messi, Fred is ahead in terms of league goals for the time being.
#1 Idrissa Gueye - 3 goals
Idrissa Gueye is not a footballer whose name will not usually be associated with goals. Instead, Gueye is a typical hard tackler known for defensive acumen. He is an extremely orthodox defensive midfielder in every sense, and many were surprised when PSG invested in him.
However, Gueye has shown that he has the necessary ability to perform at a club like PSG. While he hasn't always been a starter, Gueye has been used for the first team more often than not. He is regarded as a handy player in the Premier League for Everton, and his reputation has been enhanced over the last few years.
With 16 appearances in Ligue 1, Gueye has participated in one more league match than Lionel Messi. But that's not all, as Gueye has interestingly scored one more goal than Messi in the French league.
