Neymar is one of the most skilful attackers to have played for PSG since the turn of the century.

Since his arrival on a big-money move from Barcelona in the summer of 2017, the Brazilian has had a fairly successful stint at PSG. He hasn't quite managed to replicate his Barcelona exploits at the club. But Neymar has registered 142 goal contributions (88 goals, 54 assists) across competitions for PSG.

In 2019-20, Neymar scored his 20th Champions League goal for PSG. That made him the first player in competition history to score 20 goals for two different clubs.

The Copa America 2021 finalist has endured a rather quiet start to his 2021-22 campaign, though, netting just once in seven games across competitions.


#2 Kylian Mbappe

Kylian Mbappe is widely regarded as one of the best young players in the game at the moment. He arrived at PSG at the same time as Neymar. But the young Frenchman has managed to outshine the Champions League winner during this period.

Mbappe has already registered over 200 goal contributions (137 goals, 67 assists) for PSG across competitions. He is coming off a career-best season in 2020-21, plundering 42 goals across competitions. Despite his exploits, PSG failed to defend their Ligue 1 title to Lille and fell in the Champions League semis to Manchester City.

The 22-year-old attacker has registered five goals and six assists this season despite almost landing at Real Madrid during the summer.


#1 Edinson Cavani

Edinson Cavani is arguably the best striker to have turned out for PSG. The Uruguayan striker is one of only two players to score over 150 goals across competitions for the club.

In fact, Cavani's 200th goal for PSG in 2019-20 turned out to be his last for the Ligue 1 giants. Except for an injury-plagued last season, the 34-year-old scored at least 16 league goals in each of his seven other seasons at the club.

The six-time Ligue 1 winner had his most prolific campaign with PSG in 2016-17, when he scored 49 times across competitions.
