PSG's Kylian Mbappe and Neymar are one of the best duos in Europe. To add to that, PSG have completed the signing of one of the greatest players of all time, Lionel Messi.

Les Parisiens reached the final of the Champions League in 2019-20. They were defeated in the semi-final in 2020-21, but knocked out holders Bayern Munich in the previous round.

This summer, PSG are pulling out all the stops to win the Champions League. They have completed the signing of Sergio Ramos and Georginio Wijnaldum, who are both Champions League winners. PSG have also roped in Gianluigi Donnarumma and Achraf Hakimi, from AC Milan and Inter Milan, respectively. The cherry on the top, though, was Lionel Messi from Barcelona.

Looking at their squad, there is absolutely no doubt PSG currently have the best team in Europe. A host of these players are on the younger side too or about to enter their prime years. That means PSG are likely to have the best all-round squad in Europe for the next half decade, at the very least.

PSG could very well win multiple trophies over the next few years, and Kylian Mbappe could be at the heart of it all. At the age of 22, he has already won a lot of trophies. Should he continue his stay at PSG, Kylian Mbappe could go down as one of the most decorated players of this era.

PSG haven't historically been a massive club. They did have a golden era in the 1990s, but the turn of the century has not been kind for the French side. Ever since Qatar Sports Investments purchased the club in 2011, PSG have turned into one of the richest clubs in the world, though.

PSG have had many star players don their colours over the years, like Ronaldinho, Pauleta, David Beckham, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Edinson Cavani, Neymar and now Lionel Messi. Kylian Mbappe is another name who can be added to the list, as he is already the third-highest top scorer in the club's history.

Despite spending just four full seasons (so far) at PSG, Kylian Mbappe ranks third on the list, behind Edinson Cavani and Zlatan Ibrahimovic. However, he boasts a superior goals-per-game ratio than Cavani, which means he could catch up with the Uruguayan striker very soon.

Mbappe is currently 68 goals behind Cavani, but he scored 42 goals last season. Should he carry this form forward, he could become the club's all-time top scorer in the next two seasons.

While PSG have had many star names wear their kit, very few have stayed around long enough to be considered outright legends. Kylian Mbappe has the opportunity to change that narrative. Should he reject Real Madrid, Kylian Mbappe will be considered the greatest player to have played for the French side and could etch his name in Parisian folklore.


#1 Kylian Mbappe could form the best trio in football history with Neymar and Lionel Messi

Lionel Messi's move to PSG from Barcelona means the French side now have a super team. On paper, this team is arguably the best squad of this era, with superstars in every position.

Keeping the defence and midfield aside, PSG's attack is formidable. Kylian Mbappe and Neymar have been an excellent duo, tearing the opposition apart. They are further assisted by Angel di Maria. Lionel Messi has now entered the mix following his move from Barcelona.

Lionel Messi and Neymar were part of a historic trio at Barcelona that also involved Luis Suarez. Messi and Neymar have now been reunited at PSG, with Mbappe for company. This trio has the potential to be one of the deadliest of the modern era.

Partnerships aside, Kylian Mbappe should also consider the simple factor of playing with Lionel Messi. Apart from being an elite goalscorer, the Argentine also possesses incredible creativity.

Not many players throughout history can claim they played alongside Messi, one of the greatest of all time. Now that the opportunity has presented itself, Mbappe should commit his future to PSG and enjoy playing alongside Messi and Neymar.
